Wow, I really never saw this song the way other people see it. I had such a clear interpretation of it, so it's interesting to see all these perspectives.
That being said, I strongly feel it's not about a friendship. It's about a relationship. It's about growing apart from your lover, but still WANTING to be in love with them, but realizing that the love is gone. She said "It's too bad you're so sad, I wish you could have had what I had.." This, to me, means that Gwen was happy in the relationship. She wishes that her lover saw their relationship SHE sees it; blissful, happy. But he could only see the bad, was complicated ("You've had some scary days" -- meaning this person battled some scary thoughts about Gwen, their relationship, etc.) and so forth. That's why Gwen apologizes at the end. The last line "I'm Sorry" is.... I mean... no words. A truly beautiful way to end the song. She wants her lover to know that she's sorry, and she hopes that they know it's not her fault that the love disappeared.
Sorry if that makes no sense. It makes too much sense to me. I can't see this song any other way. But everyone has their unique interpretation which gives the song a personal meaning to them.
I agree with you, and it makes perfect sence, that's what I think of it. "wish you could of had what I had" I think with that she means that she experienced and very happy real lively relationship before and that he hasn't , so basically he wont be able to see it how she sees it. and "your dark blue, stained from previous days" is that he was damaged and he was stained from it , so how I take it is that due to his damage that he cant let go."Hesitation, but then you siphon me" this basically...

I can relate to this song, cause I'm going through this now with my bf.
