I used to cry to this song because I could relate to it. Especially where he says:
'and 800 reasons why kept flying into my eyes
wish I could say that i killed 'em dead
but they're just much bigger than I '
In my opinion, the song is about a relationship ending..and out of the 2 parties, you're the only one trying to make things work out..it's like you're purposefully blinding yourself so that you don't see the obvious and can still stay with the other person..but unfortunately, the latter keeps on giving you reasons to leave, to hate him/her, and to not love him/her..
And even though you can see clearly that he/she's not going to love you back, you want to stick around him/her for as long as you can..until you can't live this lie anymore..
A song written about hoping in vain. A painfully beautiful one.
