Cover art for every travelled road lyrics by Scott Matthew

The song is about the loss of a loved one. It is not death but the loss of his presence. "with every sweet hello there's a bitter good bye with every happy song there's the one to make you cry"

With every beginning of a relationship there's the end. Where was hapinness now is sorrow.

"I know you're not the only one You're the only one with a knife"

The bottom line is, insults only hurt when they come from someone I respect. ~ Kresley cole. And that's te meaning of that line. The ones he loves are the only ones that can hurt him and that's why s/he's the only one with a knige

"The longing the alone with a fall from a height"

The loss makes him want to go from the top of his feelings to being alone.

"we know that you inherit light but for who does it shine"

S/he has the ability to make him happy but if not for him, whom does S/he.

"oh 'cause now I've lost the right to consider you mine"

Loss of his presence. end of relationship/friendship.

And here's the best part that makes us believe it could be a GF or a young friend:

"oh you kissed so damn easy did you show it just to tease me the sweetest treachery "

This is my interpretation, I could say it was a gf but i'd be mistaken I think Scott wanted it to be vague so it can apply for any loss.
