This is actually my favorite song on "The Way It Is". If you listen to what she says basically she is telling the guy she was with, that she left him him because he wasn't the same guy she fell in love with. He changed throughout the period they were together. Due to his new found money and fame. Then she explains to him how she tried to hang on to their relationship, hoping things will be fine and go back to normal. However she realized that, they both had grown completely apart. And no matter how much or many gifts he showered her with, none of it ever matter because what really did was their love.
