This song perfectly captures that painful moment of denial when a relationship is ending.
Because "It's hard to let you go," the singer pretends to himself that he's still got the love he used to have, but in fact he's deluding himself, "holding on to what I haven't got."
"The hardest part of ending is starting again" because the pain of lost love is too heard to bear, the loneliness of an "empty room" makes it worse, the messiness of "so many things. . . left unsaid" makes it even worse, so it feels far less painful just to pretend it's all not happening. . . to delay and delay that moment when "we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear."
And this song applies to all sorts of relationships, when you've got to say goodbye, but just can't bear it yet. . .
So powerful, I love this bittersweet truthful song!

i think i might be going through this, after being together for more than year it feels as if im the one who puts her first before myself and i just try to pretend its not that way.. its hard.. because she means the world to me, but i sadly dont feel that from her...

you really did hit it in the head. its just so sad whenever things dont work out the way you wanted them too. especially when you already knew they wouldn't but you still went along for the ride......Why? i don't know really i guess cause its all stupid really. anyways this song reminds me of a combination of i hate this part by the pussycat dolls and the dog days are over by Florence and the machine. this song really got me... its been more that a month since that day..... and everything, every word in the song i...

Pretty much nailed it. We try to fool ourselves into thinking there is something there that no longer exists. Yet its not the fact the something ending that hurts the most sometimes - its the fact that something must start again: The Unknown.
In a way this seems more about not relationships that are ending but more about relationships that need to end but simply continue because neither wants to admit it isn't working.
