Cover art for Tested and True lyrics by Secondhand Serenade

I have a totally different outlook on this song... Maybe it's because of what I am going through but I think its a song about a guy and a girl, the guy loves the girls. The girl wants to go and do her own thing and "test the waters" and he knows that she will ended up coming back. In the second verse he is telling her all the things he feels, but starts to realize his words don't matter and knows she is going to be leaving anyways, so he will wait for her. The third verse, she realized that it's not so great being out on her own, so he's telling her you tried being single and alone, it didn't work out so well. So let's be together because I love you and I never wanted anything the way that I want you. The last verse, I think she realizes this, but he's scared and he just wants her to tell him she wants to be with him
