Lyric discussion by nataliejones 

Erm. Well, yes I think it is about love. But because of my life, I could use my example for what it -could- be about on a deeper level, and what it means to me personally.

She loves him and wants to be with him, but he pushes her away. The only way she can have him as part of her life is as just a friend, but she is so wrapped up in the idea of them being more then that, of them being romantically involved, that it's a stressor. A regular crush song doesn't have such a solemn tone.

Your words circle in my head Weigh so heavy on my chest And I'm crushed by your expectation I only want to do some good Too dumb to know if I could And I just wanna feel the days I'm in

Those lines really hit it. The things he tells her make her feel helpless.. and the chorus, about 'everybody burns, when it starts to hurt, I cry" is about the pain of the dilemma of loving someone and feeling like you can't do anything.

Well, that's just what it is for me. :)
