Not one comment?!?! haha

The song is a pretty basic interpretation. She is talking about the grief and sorrow over loosing someone close to you after having a falling out with them.

First verse is saying how hurtful words are said and they affect relationships and put a strain on them. Then when everything is better and poeple have made up people are still hurting because you can't let it go inside - what's done is never forgotten.

Then it goes on to say "when the fires all burn down" which symbolizes when all of it is said and done and it's all over with and when they lay your body to rest, I'll go to the grave to pay my respects however I cannot take back what I have said - "It's too late for sorry now."

"it's tmie for mercy" means that enough is enough. when it rains it pours and all she wants is to get through it and for it all to be over. It's hard to deal with the guilt of loosing someone while on such bad terms with them.

Beautiful song. Really poignant theme. I am absolutely in love with it.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME MORE COMMENTS UP ON IT!!!!!
