See You Soon

A heartfelt and melancholy regret expressed to one's unfaithful lover. Makes me cry, a lot - as I sent it to my boyfriend after breaking up with him because he cheated on me. For me, the lyrics and the tone - very sad, fit perfectly.

So you lost your trust, And you never should have, no you never should have,

She lost faith in the relationship, in him, and was unfaithful. He maintains she never should have...as his love should never have been questioned by her, she made a mistake

But dont break your back, If you ever see this,

Don't break your back bending over backwards apologizing if you ever understand this - 'see' this

Dont answer that.

This is a preemptive "Don't answer that"! As in - he doesn't want to fight anymore

In a bullet proof vest, With the windows all closed, I'll be doing my best, I'll see you soon,

He will need a lot of armour to protect himself, but would be willing to don it to see her. When he does, he will do his best not to remain strong, and not break down in front of her. He will need his armour both because he is vulnerable to the pain of seeing her, and perhaps because she is still wrathful, hence the bulletproof vest

In a telescope lens,

In other words, he may resort to observing her from a safe distance, just for the opportunity to see her

And when all you want is friends,

When all she wants is to be friends and they've finally let their romance go

Ill see you soon.

He longs very much to see her, is perhaps trying to convince himself he'll see her soon because he's anxious, but I think more likely telling her to be patient while he heals

So they came for you,

Here, I suspect her other lovers are those who came for her

They came snapping at your heels, They come snapping at you heels,

As though her male lovers were actually evil dogs chasing/tempting her, that she had little choice to submit too them, or at least justified herself to him by saying this

But dont break your back, If you ever see this,

Again, don't break your back bending over backwards to make amends if you ever understand this - that you ruined the relationship for men that were not worth it

Dont answer that.

Again, the resigned - "Don't answer that", because he doesn't want to fight anymore

In a bullet proof vest, With the windows all closed, Ill be doing my best, Ill see you soon, In a telescope lens, And when all you want is friends, Ill see you soon,

Here there is actually a long note heard, that sounds very much like a mournful and pained crying, which really brings home that this song is about abject heartbreak

Ill see you soon. I know you lost your trust, I know you lost your trust, Dont lose your trust, I know you lost your trust
