Yeah, I would agree... It really describes someone that I know. I always thought it was about this guy who knew this girl liked him... and he wronged her in some way. Still, he can't get her off his mind. She no lonegr likes him, she is mad and hurt. He can't stop thinking about her... and yet "even though you've waited so long to see the day when she will turn to you again... so long my friend is what you'll say"
The title, "the way you want it to" can apply to the pain that this guy feels... it hurts... the way he wants it to. He's not in love with her but in love with the guilt that she made him feel. "And I don't know why you feel so bad. Where is the life you once had? And still this horrid feeling grows and grows the way you want it to?"
I think he may have a past of being emotionally void an no one made him feel bad for what he had done... except her.
