The first time I really paid attention the lyrics when hearing this song as a single, the "I can't be your friend.." line immediately jumped out at me. To me, there was no other explanation than that the singer/lyricist was gay and was referring to his love for a straight man. Not that everyone doesn't deal with unrequited love and can relate to it; but it's such a common fear among gay men (and presumably women) that not only will the love be unreturned, but that it will in fact destroy your friendship, that I was sure only a gay man would have worded it that way. I googled the band right away and was proven correct.
@Chagrin@Chagrin I know this is an old post about "Sewn" by The Feeling, and I wanted to tell you that you were and are so accurate in your assessment of the song. Dan "Danny boy" portrayed his honest vulnerability so eloquently in the song. Thank you for commenting. I still love that song and was playing it a lot today. ^^

Needless to say, I relate to it a bit too much...
