For someone to say this song is bland and/or boring shows that they aren't appreciating what's infront of them. Just because it isn't one of their uptempo rock tunes doesn't mean to say that it doesn't have any depth to it. It is simple, bare and full of lyrical genius. The live acoustic to this is unbelievable! A lot of ideas are put through in this song, we react to what we saw our parents go through and are affected by it. She witnessed her parents having a pretty hard time and thought love wasn't worth the hassle, the risk. For her to abandon what she was brought up to believe was right and choose to love someone despite her fears is a very courageous thing to do, you cannot take that kind of sincerity away from this song! If you haven't felt vulnerable in the face of love then you couldn't possibly relate.
