Lyric discussion by Nobody-special 

I think the singer in this was overly affectionate or moving things too quickly for the other person and so she broke him off ("Where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart"). Now she's with someone else and this is who is addressed in the first verse.

I might just think that though because something similar had just happenned to me the first time I heard this song. Several Mumford and Sons lyrics are creepily reflective of the goings on in my own life.

That does sound about right. I think it's a sign of a fantastic song writer when they can make you think of moments in your own life when listening to their music.

"...creepily reflective of the goings on in my own life. "

Dont worry...i heard this song and checked my closet just to see if Marcus Mumford was hiding in there with a pen and notepad.

But yeah as Kane92 said it shows a good song if it relates to you somehow

I completely agree. When I heard this song I wanted to check my closet, too :) I am going through that experience right now, where we both love each other, but one cannot reciprocate the intensity of the love, and it is difficult. It was effing crazy the visceral reaction I had to this song.

And as I was wondering what the blank page was, I received a letter from that someone today. I could envision the person sitting, wondering what to write while feeling this way. Very eerie.
