I really like your opinions on this song. It's absolutely beautiful and definitely one of my favorites.

Personally, I think that it could as simple as someone who was always there for her. No matter how hard she tries to keep this person in her life he or she is never there. The line "Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior." says that to me. She might have always gone to this person whenever she had a bad day, needed a friend to talk to, or when she really needed someone to save her. As time passes, their friendship has faded away and the person is no longer there. And every time she calls on him or her, they turn the tables around and make the situation worse.

I think that this song her way of saying that she has finally figured out that the person is no longer there for her and it's time for her to move on and not let him or her close, or give him or her the chance to desert her. ("So I won't let you close enough to hurt me. No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me.")

I came here to write exactly what your opinion of the song is. It's exactly what I'm going through at the moment.

Same here exactly what I'm going through. Totally agree with this as it sums up what it means to me. When there is no winning, always being there for them but no longer vice versa. The lyric 'I wont let you close enough to hurt me' implies it is someone that you cant completely eradicate from your life but need to keep at a distance because of the way they perceive things they always turn the tables instead of admitting their fault or being sorry.
