I really like the way Aimee sings this song. Her voice just makes me swoon. I may not be spot on with the lyrics, but I begin to tear up with the end of the first chorus every time: "why should I be the one, to give this everything?"

This song struggles to move on from a bad relationship. It has the courage to do so, however, and thus illustrates the break in a calm and telling way, which I find admirable.

The end of the song changes the direction of the chorus by eliminating the last phrase. "Why should I be the one? [only]" is a compelling note to end on (and intentional, I would think).
