The video and the story behind the lyric is a love triange. Axl and Izzy loved the same girl. The video is from another girls perspective, who would forgive anything to be with him. And axl would give anything to be with the blond girl, thinking about her till the day he dies The lyrics are free for personal interpretation. It could be the girl who is saying that there's something in your eyes (love) and that she already know his feeling towards have grown. That he doesn't need to hide it, she is completely honest with him. Either she doesn't love him enough or she is in a relationship. In a way she loves him, so she tries not to hurt him. His perspective. He understands that their fling was just short term. Her feelings have changed and either she is going to stay with her old boyfriend or just going away. He knows what she is thinking and tries to comfort her, that he is not really hurting. But if she would just give him a sign, he would be there for her.

I think this song is more about him talking from the grave, thinking about regrets, but still remembering the positive memories as well, and telling his girl to remember the good/positive things... - "there's a heaven above you." Or, "I'll still be thinking of you and the times we had." To me he's speaking in death, from the grave. And of course in the video you see him trying to talk to her from beneath the earth, under the grave. I mean, the song is so great. It's kind of all over the place, but I'm not criticizing it for...

wrong mate some interview i read said this song was made after one of Axl's GF broke up with him and the last words she said was Don't Cry. he went home and wrote this song
