I bought the t-shirt for this song before I even heard the song. It has the "I thank you for listening" lines on the back and that was the selling point to me. Then I found out there was an actual song for it and the song just struck home the instant I heard it. - As far as the meaning goes to me its some type of relationship, could be a couple or even just close friends that didn't quite click. He couldn't live with the other's pain. Yet, this person allowed him to tell them and explain to them how he feels and that he just couldn't live with the pain they are experiecing, and he thanks them for listening. He got to see how they are and how he is and says he is glad they let him experience it because he is happy to be himself again.
