when i hear this song, it definitely doesn't make me think about a gay relationship at all, so i just want to put that out there first for anyone who says this song is about him being gay.

i recently broke up with my boyfriend of 10months because he treated me like shit. he pointed out all of my flaws and i grew bitter. i kept it bottled up how much it bothered me- how much i grew to HATE him for the nasty things he said to me... even though he was only trying to "make the relationship better."

this song basically illustrates the relationship PERFECTLY. its clearly about a girl who bottled up feelings about a guy who did something to wrong the girl, thus creating an "earthquake." and of course, he is remorseful, because he didnt want it to end. whatever he did, it wasnt his intention to end the relationship.

and i know my "ex" agrees that this song illustrates what we are going through right now because he is the one who posted it on his xanga when writing about the break up. (wow, that xanga reference made me sound like im in high school! way to lower your age, zooey!)

and for the record, i like this song as well as dark days and smother me. but youre all right, this is nothing like their old stuff, which is infinitely better! (:
