This song is about a girl who just had enough with this guy she used to love, but she's tired of all the drama involved and decides to move on and encourages him to do the same.

"you say you love me but they feel like words to me but this just aint workin, still thinkin you can run over me drifiting, settling up to a foreign place. if i can't see what's in front of me, it's a mystery, but then apparently" (he insists that he loves her, but she no longer believes in him. For some reason they grew apart and love began to fade away. She's now comfortable on her own, making things her own way.)

"things just aint the same, and i'm ready for change. go on, be gone, bye bye, so long."

(She has changed. The vulnerable love she used to have for this guy faded away. Now she tells him to go away)

"can't you see that you're fading fading fading faaading away away away away. i opened up my eyes and i finally realized today, today is too late, you're fading away. put a sock in it, just stop running your mouth, got my mind made up, i aint comin back again, no way, no way, no way, no way."

(Again, she tells him to go away. There is no going back, what had to be done, is already done)

"cuz i'm so fed up boy, you got me messed up if we're hookin back up, don't press your luck today. i'm blowing you away. things just aint the same, and i'm ready for change. go on, be gone, ta ta, so long." (She tells him she's tired of all the drama they're been through. That he got her messed up)

"saw you turn into a ghost right in front of my eyes. tell me what's a girl to do when she's crying inside? i'm about to go insane, i'm jumping off this train, whether wrong or right, i'll be gone by night." (he turned into a ghost in her life. Became part of her past. Their love faded infront of their eyes. No matter how hard it is for her or him, this time there is no going back.)
