To me this song seems to be about this girl who really cares for her boyfriend and is always there to support him and help him through his rough times ("Sleep on now
I heard that a knee makes a good pillow When your down"). But the boy doesn't seem to care about her feelings and problems, he is never there for her because he doesn't even notice the pain she shows. She doesn't know what she can do to make him see that she also needs some support ("How hard should I fall
Before it's my turn to be heard.
How much pain should I show on my face
Before you listen to a word.
How bad should I hurt?
How much is enough?")
I can relate to this song...I think everyone at some point feels like no matter how much you support someone it seems like that someone can't understand that sometimes we also need a shoulder to lean on...
