Sooo...anyone into analyzing this? I can get an idea, it's clearly angry, at best somewhat annoyed, but still not pleased. I guess I get confused on the whole "proving you were a liar" thing. Does he mean that the person he's singing about actually was a liar? Or he wants to believe that they were to give himself a reason to leave said person in his past?
I kind-of get the feeling that this is all about wanting to dislike, or even hate, someone for the purposes of moving on from them. But he can't, because he knows the reasons he has for hating this person are all in his head, and he can't truly believe them or even back them up at all.He says "it was bad for us both", which makes me feel like he knows in his heart that whatever caused things to go bad with him and this other person was because of both of them, because of things that they both did or said to hurt each other. But he wants so badly to give away all of the blame and make it all the other person's fault, in order to make himself feel okay enough to move on without feeling guilty, second-guessing, or looking back.
Yes? No? I'm open to someone completely tearing what I've said apart and correcting me. These are all just theories from yours truly. And this is my first post on songmeanings, which provides even more opportunity for me to be completely and totally wrong. Lemme know!
