Half Gate Lyrics

Cover art for Half Gate lyrics by Grizzly Bear

I think It's about a relationship that has just ended. He doesn't believe or feel what she has to say But he doesn't want her to try and convince him it's fine He still loves her even though he left her He has given all he had to the relationship, he's burnt out He's hearing her out to make sure he's not making a mistake He's a small bit sorry to lose what they had He thinks a part of her stopped loving him a long time ago She may have treated him badly 'Unhinged' He wants her to let go so he can He's asking her to leave things as they are The things he loved about her are still there somwhere Their relationship is dead, the joy is gone He's happy to be alone now He thinks about her at night before he goes to sleep and reminds himself why he is better off alone It wasn't true love, it's time to get over it He'll remember her at her best, when she truly loved him

That's what I want to believe the lyrics mean.
