While it's been said that she wrote this about the war and government, what I'm going through at the moment makes me see the song much differently. To me it's about a couple, and one person finds out the other has cheated: You thought we'd be fine / All these years gone by / Now you're asking me to listen / Well then tell me bout everything / No lies / We're losing time
The chorus also seems that way to me: It was a trial / You made a mistake / We know / Why aren't you sorry
Then it switches over to the cheater's point of view, claiming they don't stand a chance at fixing things if the other keeps recruiting loved ones to their defense: You've got them on your side / And they wont change their minds
They're trying to figure out if the relationship is worth the battle: Now its over / And I'm feeling like I missed out on everything / I just hope It's worth the fight
and
This could get better / We can be happy / Try
Interesting how many ways you can view a song, depending on your personal experiences! Love this song.
