I've been listening to Battle Studies a lot recently, obviously because it's an incredible record but also because every song on there seems to hit the spot right now. I broke up with my girlfriend 3 weeks ago, and recently she's come back and wanted to 'try again'. I remembering listening to this song when she left mine a few nights ago and realising that this wasn't what I wanted at all:
'You say you want to try again,
But i've tried everything but giving in.
Why you want to break my heart again,
Why am I gonna let you try?'
These words hit me really hard: in the past, i'd have let someone back in my life, but this time round i've realised that I don't want to get back with someone who wants to 'break my heart again'. I guess generally this song is about moving on from someone who isn't good for you: as much as you want them back and they want the same thing, you take the upper hand and realise that all you'll be doing is 'saying goodbye' again. Beautiful song, like the album!
