@JesAnne - that sucks. Even if I don't know you, I'm sorry.

I think the end of a relationship is just one possibility for this song. I don't watch Vampire Diaries, though, so maybe that changes my perspective. I think it's just a song about any sort of crushing disappointment, especially when you started into a situation with high hopes. The great thing about this song (other than just its beauty because the music and harmony is so powerful) is that it is universal. Every single one of us have a way to relate because you can't get through life without being so disappointed in the outcome of something that you hit rock bottom.
