Everyone has interpreted this song a billion times and a billion different ways, but I think who she sings about in the end isn't who she ends up with. I think she met someone who made her believe in love, but for some reason it didn't work out. Like when she sings, "I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't let go of what's in front of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up; leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream." I think that signifies the end of that particular relationship. But she goes on to say that she's on her way to believing. So therefore, she has learned that love is very real, and that she will be able to believe in it someday with the right person.
