Cover art for Critical lyrics by Jonas Brothers

I personally don't see the "couple's broken up" image.

I actually think it's about falling in love, but after not ever feeling committed before, and even being afraid and running away from love in other relationships, he's realizing he's passed a point of no return. It's become serious, critical, and it's scary but it's unstoppable and wondrous.
