this song is so sad.
i think that two people were once married, "and put my old wedding ring on," but they eventually broke up.
he was really in love with her, and he couldnt take the divorce, so he tried killing himself, but never succeeded:
"and wednesday i hung from a tree"
"with these pills piled high on my plate,
so i swallow each one in a haze."
he wanted her to notice him at least one more time; he thought his life was already hell, so if he died it couldn't get any worse.
"southbound is heaven, the city of sin."
"she says, 'i'm sorry, my darling.
time stole the joy we were hiding.
i am in love and this baby is yours.'"
this i'm not sure about, but i think she fell in love with someone else, but she was having a child with him.
the divorce and such was what the time was, and the baby was what it was hiding.
"and i don't wanna live in this light.
let your darkness just cover my eyes.
and i'm trying to get myself clean,
but it's all i can do to just scream."
but he couldn't take her being with another man and having his child, but to help her out he's trying to fix himself up and stay clean, but inside his life is still a wreck.
