Cover art for Bent lyrics by Matt Nathanson

i think its about a guy whos thinking back to a past relationship, what he couldve done to change it, and how he still cares about the other person now.

he misses the person but things are entirely different now. he doesnt know if he couldve changed anything throughout it that wouldve made it different. he hates how things are between things are between them now but knows that theyll never be together again. the girl took a part of him. and when he sees her with other people it hurts him too, and upsets him more when he sees other guys hurt her.
