the first time I heard this song I was sitting in the back seat of a car, on the way to who knows where, blissfully unaware of everything aournd me and ahead of me...
but I fell in love...
the entire mood of this song, the music, the lyrics, Ben's voice...it all just made sense to me, for those few minutes everything made sense to me, and I had no clue why.
then I met him, years later. the first day of my sophomore year, I had this song stuck in my head, and it was then that I met him, and everything came together.
to me, this song is about being in love with someone, but just wishing you could "Forget It" and go on living your life as you did before you met that person. "It's a crime" that you love them, but nothing can alter how you feel, and they are the only one you want, and you just cannot have them, no matter what...but...maybe you can one day. so you remain hopeful, "holding breath you can breathe," until you are together.
until then, seeing them...seeing him...is torture. because we're both alone, but cannot be together. and seeing them makes you happy and sad, and "I can live forever here" is stating what will happen..saying I'll live in the balance, "caught in your way," and I can, as long as it takes.
still, in the meantime, it would be amazing if the memories could be wiped away, if I could start over, never meet him...
Because he's so much like me, he is "the part of me that I don't wanna see," but as I said before,
"I can live forever here..."
but this is only my life, and how the song makes me feel...it's different for everyone
=] me
OMG! I've been reading just about everyone's comments for this song, and yours is the one that made me really feel and envision my life. I can totally relate to what you are saying. There's this guy in my life whom I love with all my heart, but we're just friends and I know that we'll never be more. But yet a part of me still remains hopefull. There are so many times I wish I had never met him and all the feelings would go away, but at the same time I'd just die if he weren't in my...

And seeing him makes me so happy, but at the same time it hurts so much. And we're both single, but yet it won't ever happen. Ugh, this song is so perfect. I wish you luck with your situation...maybe one day you and the guy you're talking about will end up together. I guess we just need to stay strong. =)
I actually feel that with a girl. I feel like she likes me back, but I feel she is pressured by peer pressure at the same time. She gave me a few reasons why she won't date me, which I find reasonable, but there are still those other signs that says she likes me and signs that say she's not sure what to think. She's been treated like s*** in past relationships, but I have made a vow that if she ever says yes, I will be her last first kiss. I listen to Breaking Benjamin alot, I can play...

She's been treated like s*** in past relationships, but I have made a vow that if she ever says yes, I will be her last first kiss. I listen to Breaking Benjamin alot, I can play quite a few songs on my guitars, and my most favorite of them all is Dear Agony. It's simple, clean, meaningful, and just out there. This song, it now means so much to me, like Dear Agony, because I can relate to it. Sometimes I wonder, why does love have to be so complicated? Why are we all afraid of it? I am trying my best to keep things right, like not pressuring her into it, cause if I do, then it won't last, it just wouldn't work out. I'm also trying to keep out of the friendzone too, lol. But all-in-all, she means the world to me, and now each time I listen to this song, I'll think of her. Her name is Brooke and I'd do anything to be with her. I try not to overdo anything so I'm not pushing her away. If anyone has any ideas, let me know...
