After the Movies Lyrics

This has got to be the saddest loveworn song I've ever heard. "Are you glad I'm finally gone?" is the saddest line ever. It's obviously about Tim reminiscing about his ex, how he recalled such a memorable moment with her in the parking lot after watching a movie. "One night is forever" he means that it was that moment that will always be in his heart because it's the moment they connected. "Are you glad I'm finally gone? I'm so sorry to hear that. Have I hurt you?" He's crying out to her. "I have hurt myself" so deep. He felt that his faults (if there really were any. A lot of the time, we feel at fault after breakups) caused her to leave, which hurts him deeply. "Love as fragile as a wine glass, it should've been forever." he's saying that he, and she, should've handled the relationship better, cherished it more, not have taken it for granted, and stay with each other and work things out. Cursive writes such deep songs, but I must say that this is the strongest and most touching. I can relate after having my heart broken a few times.
