this might be my favorite song of hers. such simple lyrics, and yet they resonate so profoundly with sincere and intense emotions... a song of foolish mistakes, and reactions to the hurt that they caused. the intentions of both parties were pure, wanting to show their love for each other and failing because of immaturity of one or both. yet they tried with all their might to hold onto control and each other in order to make up for it, only to realize that it is impossible because there is too much pain from their mistakes, and they couldn't force what needed to come naturally. this song is the singer's last attempt at reaching out to his/her lover before leaving, because it feels hopeless, that the lover has been pushed too far away, that trust has been destroyed... it seems they have been damaged beyond repair. the rejection and destruction of hopes is too much for the singer to take, and the song is in a very defensive tone. it has somewhat of a "sour-grapes" attitude. none of the singer's mistakes are acknowledged.
"i wait with a plate piled high with my love that you won't eat from"
"love you think you can contain me, but the future is already known"
"we give up our rest and the best of us though we'd be better off alone"
"this is so laughable, whatever happened to knowing that this was forever"
"file off the sharpness of feelings so i'll be protected from all of your evil"
"i'll be gone, finally done, never to come to your rescue"
