My ex-wife cheated on me and left me and my children. I remember going to therapy and the therapist asking what I learned from the whole relationship. Not just the beginning, middle, or end, but the whole thing. This song describes my feelings and what I learned so beautifully.
My love was everything everyone said love is. (Especially musically). Love can be wonderfully (happy love songs), difficult (songs were boy meets girl, breaks up and they get back together), sad and painful.
My 15 year relationship taught me ‘not to lie’, ‘ how to cry’, how to see (“Love forget to make me too blind to see”) what was really going on, ‘how to leave’ (In my case, that was very difficult.)
The lines “Maybe it was for the love we made” always make me think about my two sons. Even with all the pain I went through, I would still have married her because I received the two greatest things in the world from the marriage.
Even the verse “First he turn to you” describes my relationship. I remember the first time I met the guy, and she turned to me and then she turned to him, and I wanted her to hurt so bad, but that’s not me. So I tried to “love bigger” but that was “still too late”
After being in love with someone for so long, there is a “lesson from the strangeness” you feel. You are forever changed.
But in the end, I know that I gave it my all (”I gave my love didn't I?” and that it was her that “chickened” out.
