This song is completely amazing. His voice is so full of meaning and you can feel the pain. But I want to know what it means when he says "you wanted me to be less your lover than a mirror." any suggestions?
I love Ray Lamontagne, and this is definitly one of my favorites of the Gossip in the Grain album.
My favorite lyric just so happens to be 'You wanted me to be less your lover than a mirror'. To me this points an obvious finger at his lover's feelings about herself. I think he is saying that she loved herself more than she loved him, and it hurts him that she doesn't care about him as much as she does as her 'mirror'.
