the song is about a guy breaking up with his girl friend who he loves very much but he has to let it go because because she likes someone else,
"And when we look to the sky
It's not mine, but I want it
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there
And you're probably hanging out and making eyes
While across the room he stares
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance"
He wants "the sky" to be his but he knows its not. as in he wants her to love him like he loves her or like she used to love him.
"She'll say yes, because these words were never easier
For me to say, or her to second guess"
He knows that she loves someone else and the other guy likes her too & she would take the other guy instead of him,
& hes talking about when he says I Love you or any thing else like that, and how she isnt sure if he means it.
"But I guess that I can live without you
But without you I'll be miserable at best"
If thats really what she wants he will let her go but it will leave him miserable
"You're all that I hoped I'd find in every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home
You're a thousand miles away"
to him she was everything he would ever want, everything he did to make her stay everything he did for her still couldnt get her to stay she never liked it that much anyway
and now he feels empty, hes missing a big part of him his "home" and she feels so far "a thousand miles away"
"And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
Cause I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it"
he dosent even feel like he wants to live, its hard for him to find the strength to breath
he knows that he did good things, and that he has to be good for something, he cant be useless
but he dosent know what the could be, he needs to know what hes good for.
"So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there
And you're probably hanging out and making eyes
While across the room he stares
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance"
he knows that hes there, he wans he to stop acting like she has found another
he knows that they are probably flirting and that she has forgotten all about him already.
he knows that he will ask her to "dance" as in ask her out.
"And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you and I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek"
he finally has the chance ot talk to her and he cant find anything to say because he knows that she has already moved on even after all that they had, she stopped caring. he hasent slept in the days thinking about her and what shes doing with him.
"And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly"
not he just wants to ignore her and let her do what she wants to, but they both know that he wants to talk to her and see her. He misses her kiss
