This song reminds me so much of my father, who passed away almost a year ago. He was an addict, and lived his life as a victim blaming everyone for his life. When he finally apologized for all he'd done, it was too late and couldn't fix the past. Our last conversation was an arguement. He was high on a lot of perscription medication (he was very ill), and was being nasty. I told him never to call me again, and two weeks later he died. Every word of this song fits perfectly to our relationship. I'm so grateful there's a song that I can relate to, but sad that whomever wrote it (most likely Nina Persson?), had to go through something similar to what I went through to be able to write it.

Sorry, I accidentally clicked on the -, but I didn't mean to rate your interpretation!!! It looks like I can't take it back now, so here's the explanation.

Sorry you had to go through this.
