i've always looked at this song as the ending of a failed relationship -- "the taste of freedom was sweeter than love cause you never had a chance to live" makes me think of someone suffocating their lover so much that they no longer felt free when they were with them (they never had a chance to live), therefore having the feeling of finally being free from the relationship was better than the feeling of love itself at first. then as time goes on then comes in the chorus, this person is enjoying the freedom of being without a lover yet when the day ends they miss being with their significant other, no matter how restrained they were when they were with them -- "you look around, you're wondering what you're doing" ... just a thought :)
p.s. -- michael sounds so great in this song :) :) i love when he sings with music like this, it just seems to fit him so well in my opinion :)
