It's about a break up of a relationship, I wonder if Robbie wrote it about Nicole Appleton.
But it's basically the form of going through the motions, he's trying to get over the separation with the lyrics: "Please don't think of me, if you do you gotta block it" and understanding she's in the same pain as well, as break ups are hard on any party.
And with: "I walked from the bar, cos they were only laughing" with trying to get on with life and having a laugh with friends, but the fact remaining you can't forget your problems in a hurry, and something will always remind you of that person if you are still trying to get over them.
And then with: "I hurt you, I can see, You think it's not hurting me" and then with "If it's hurting you, you know that it's hurting me" meaning he will always have that care and concern for that person, and will have to live with the fact he has caused that pain but that he does recognize that.
And with "You'll meet other men, who will break your heart, if I see you with them, it's gonna tear me apart" which he knows she will eventually move on, but it's going to kill him seeing her with someone else.
Overall, awesome song, beautiful vocals and acoustic guitar track, one of my fave Robbie Williams songs
