This is such a good song. I love how Amanda hasn't conformed to just making songs rhyme and scan. It allows the lyrics to have a much more direct meaning.
Well anyway, I think it's about how a lot of people don't forgive themselves for previous mistakes, although mistakes are very easy things to make. They just let the guilt build up until they despise themselves. And when you hear this, it makes you realise that it is pretty stupid to hate yourself.
It also has the moral that you shouldn't look down on people less fortunate or successful than you, because you could easily become one!
