this song is so genuine, and sad. he is trying to get over this girl but how is he supposed to if she won't just admit to him that things arent going to work out between them? he doesn't want her sympathy, he doesn't want her help, he only wants her love. she is trying too hard to be a "good friend" or avoid bluntly rejecting him but the truth is, how she is "playing along" is breaking his heart even more. it would be less painful if she would admit to him her feelings, that way he could "sail" on and not continue his life with a feeling of longing and pain.
