I don't know if anyone else might feel this way, but when I hear this song, I think of my weaker, vulnerable, side/the little girl side of myself having a conversation with the more mature, wise, strong side of myself. And this paragraph really hits me the hardest:
"How many times have i hurt you
And how many times have you
And how many times I'd been on my knees
Begging, begging "please forgive me, forgive me"
When I hear that, it sort of makes me think of my weaker side apologizing to myself/the stronger side. Sort of like I'm saying "I'm sorry for hurting you when I know you deserve so much more. I'm sorry for treating you badly. Forgive me".
And in the last line:
"And I couldn't see how you're trying for me"
It makes me think of the little girl saying to the adult in me that "I couldn't see how strong you're trying to be. How you're trying to save me, protect me, get me to realize that you're rooting for me because you're worth more and need to understand that. Learn to love yourself".
Anyway, that's just how I see it. Great song. Very touching and haunting.
