This song captures one person's devotion to a non-committal person. The singer had wanted to share a life with the person she's singing to, but he has recently broke up with her. She already suspected the break-up because she observes, "In your voice there was something wrong." She talks about how they planned their dreams show through in "terms of endearment" (affectionate nicknames) and the time they've spent together. Foolishly, she stayed with him, hoping he would change. But he is unable to make a commitment and now, there is no use staying together any longer.
