And we both go down together We'd stay there forever Just try to get up And I'm sorry this wasn't easy When I asked you Believe me And never let go ~As I see it they both fell in love and the plan was to stay in love forever and to try to get up from the bad times together. ~He asked her something that was obiviously hard for him to ask (like disbelief), and he wanted to believe and neither of them wanna let go, due to the whole being together forever.

Well, I'm thinking of the worst things That I could say to you But a promise doesn't mean a thing anymore ~So she messed up and she tells him, and even if she promises that it won't happen again He doesn't believe it.

And this never will be right with me ~He's not ok with what she did, because he still loves her And now you're trying to desperately ~He's made up his mind to break up with her, but she doesn't want to break up But I'm tongue-tied And terrified of what I'll say ~whatever he says will hurt her

And then we both go down together We may stay there forever ~They fell in love, Notice the use of words here.. now forever is a "may". So he's no longer sure that they'll be together forever. I'll just try to get up ~Now he is trying to put himself back together And I'm sorry that this wasn't easy When I asked you Believe me You never let go But I let go ~He broke up with her and it was hard for him to do so.. And in the begging I guess they promised not to let go of their love, but in the end he was the one who let go.

I could only sing you sad songs And you could sing along And you could see the melody That's been calling out your wrongs ~He is sad over what happened and will only dedicate her sad songs that will call her out and what she did. And by 'you could sing along' he means you can recognize what you did wrong. And this never will be right with me And now you're trying to desperately But I'm tongue-tied And terrified of what I'll say

But I never told you everything I'm losing hope and fading dreams And every single memory along the way ~He was always too afraid to tell her what he really thought, how she hurt him when he still loved her.. he is gradually forgetting about her, the hopes and dreams he had in their love and the time they had together, Those are now memories that he forced himself to forget inorder to get back up again, to feel okay with himself again.

And then we both go down together We may stay there forever I'll just try to get up And I'm sorry that this wasn't easy When I asked you Believe me You never let go But I let go.
