I think this song is not necessarily a break up song in the sense that the two actually dated. I kind of get the feeling that the girl and guy were really close friends that always loved the other but never made the commitment to the other. For example the opening line states that she feels that she is just a silhouette that he never wanted too far from him what I take from that is that he doesnt want her running off with another person or just moving on so he is always there to keep her in his view. The chorus to me is basically saying that she doesnt have to see the light or the girl that wraps her arms around him and he doesnt have to know the places and the guys she is with now because they finally went there separate ways, even though she just went back to the same places that they use to like two people who share the same friends and hang outs. The guys verse is basically saying that he never expected to care so much and resisted the feeling but found himself changing to be with her and to make her happy. the last verse is basically them sharing the same emotion that the feel there was love but they never made the leap so they will never know. and the hidden verse is just like all of us we try to move on or drown the feeling with drink or another person but in the need its just pulling the wool over your eyes because the fact is they still want to be with each other they just blew it.
