What this song means to me is the writer is going through a rough time after a relationship. He feels like he wasn't good enough for her, or maybe that he just did stupid things to ruin it. Eithier way he feels like he ruined something good in his life and its tearing him apart. I will break down the main lines. Again this is what the song means to me, I am not saying this is what it means to the writer.
"I'm a mess, that's the best to describe it.
Having no time to myself's the only way i can fight it.
When I'm alone, it's like I'm staring into a mirror.
Don't know the person inside and that's never been any clearer."
Like I said he was in a great relationship and he probably was happier than he ever thought he would be. He feels like he wasn't good enough for it and its his falt its over. When he has time to sit and reflect on his past it tears him apart so he does his best to keep himself busy. He basicly is starting to feel like he doesn't know himself anymore and really hates how he is.
"I miss your family and I miss all our friends,
if you had a "to do over", would you do it over again? Cause I would.
This meant something to me,
there's a hole in my heart where you used to be."
Just talking about how much he misses her and wishes he could do things over again.
"I still wish you the best of luck baby,
and don't go thinking this was a waste of time.
I couldn't forget you if I tried.
You killed what was left of the good in me.
I'm tired, so let me be broken.
Look down at the mess that's in front of me.
No other words need be spoken.
I've got nobody else to blame though I tried.
Kept all our past mistakes held inside,
I'll live with regret for my whole life."
He blames himself completely. He tried to act like it wasn't all his falt and not be so hard on himself but deep down he honestly thinks he was just not good enough. The last line just sums up the entire thing really. No matter how hard he tries he just can't get past it and will always have a little bit of regret.
"I confess, I brought this all on myself.
Condemned to suffer along like there's nobody else.
When you're gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing,
so I'll keep living the lie,
and just hope that you're listening."
Again he is admitting that he just wasn't good enough and he feels like he will never be good enough for anyone and will be alone forever.
This is my favorite song on the new album. I think mostly because the words really hit home for me.
