Least Ammount of comments but probably one of the deepest songs that alicia has written. I believe that this song is a window into what she has been through- and recently.
The song i feel tells the story of a girl(alicia) coming to terms with the end of a very important relationship. She was in a relationship for a long period of time, one she thought would never come to an end. But despite her efforts to keep the relationship together things just ultimately fell apart. Consistantly she gave the other a try- yet it seems she was the only one taking the relationship seriously. I believe she just came to terms with the fact that it wasnt ment to be and that she could just take the experience as a lesson that she could use in future relationships. Im pretty sure she went to a friend for comfort- someone who she trusted completely. That person telling her that they sensed that the person was not the one for her and that it had been building up to the point of falling apart. The line about it "raining" i feel symbolizes her crying rather than rain it self. John mayer's line "its alright" repeated symbolizes her telling herself and others telling her that it would be ok and she could over come the obsitcle of a broken heart.
Definately the best of alicia.
I hope shes doing much better now.
