The meaning of this song is so obvious its hilarious that so many people have got it wrong! It is so obviously about Britney and Justin.
Notice me - Justin is ignoring her and focussing on moving on with his life and it upsets her
Take my hand - she wants him to pay her attention again
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong - she knows they both still love eachother and wants to get back together but they're strangers now because he's too stubborn and proud to give her another chance, and won't let her back into his life
Why carry on without me? - she knows he still loves her but won't admit it so she asks him 'what is the point of carrying on without me because we both know you still love me'
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small - everytime she tries to move on she messes up (random las vegas marriage, kf marriage etc.) and feels like crap
I guess I need you baby - she is reluctantly admitting she needs him and she made a mistake
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby -she cant stop thinking about him
I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear - she imagines he's there coz it makes it easier, which anyone who has gone thru a break up with someone they love can probably relate to
What have I done - she admits she made a mistake with the cheatin
You seem to move on easy - it hurts her that he's movin on easy, gettin successful and more famous gfs like cameron Diaz
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain - the rain are his tears which she caused by cheating, also doubles as a ref. to the rain in CMAR
Please forgive me - she asks for his forgiveness
My weakness caused you pain - her weakness refers to her cheating which hurt him
And this song is my sorry - her apology
Ohhhh - she's longing and miserable
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away - she knows he wont come back and so even though she longs for him she knows she has to forget him so she prays his face will fade from her mind
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
It seems like they were in love but Britney cheated (hence why he was so bitter, because if it was his doing he wouldnt really make bitter songs like "cry me a river" and "what goes around comes around.")
She cheated and he broke it off even though he still loved her, she still loved him but initially didnt care that much about the split, but after he started to move on she realised she missed him and wanted him back and loved him, but it's too late because even if he still loved her, he was too proud to give her another chance because she hurt him so much; she knows she messed it up and this song was her apology to cry me a river, and he replied to this with "what goes around comes around."
