For me, this song is about two people that are in a relationship. For the one singing, he is really in love with whoever he is with. It's the kind of love that, to him, would have been forever. He tries so hard, constantly giving his love to this person. He has finally given his complete heart and soul, all invested in this person, but the other person hasn't even given him half of that. He would go to the ends of the earth with or for this person, but he would not receive the same treatment. Eventually, it's too much. Giving everything you have to someone and receiving very little in return has consumed his thoughts, so he just wants something. Just for the other person to say something, maybe that they really do love him and can't live without him or just a simple "please don't go, I need you." For the whole song, he's waiting, drawing it out just to give them more chances. Finally, he knows that he will never be as loved as he loves this person, so he swallows his pride, swallows that gut feeling that he's doing something wrong and should turn back, and instead says goodbye. Once a fighter, he has now admitted defeat, he has now given up on this person.
The song did it as well, but you basically just summarized the pain I have been going through with my loved one, who is basically shut down. Great job. I probably would have wrote the same exact thing as you did.

I'm going through that right now. I love this girl so much, but I'm not getting anything in return for all the thought and effort. It sucks and its really tough. Thanks for the awesome summary!

I break down every time I hear the song and now reading the meaning of it... the song or the meaning could not be better written by me. It is a feeling of lost and hopelessness and reaching out to someone that is no longer there.... no matter how much love you give or feelings you may have, if it is never returned you have to give up to save yourself.... I am a fighter who has given up... I feel.. I love... I lost

I am glad to have known the fact that there are actually ladies that can actually love unconditionally. Please dont hate me for this because this is what made me think after my previous relationship ended.

She was my first, and i promised her to be my last. I loved her like there was no other, gave her everything that i i have nothing else left to share. I guess thats where my mistake came from. I feel empty after she left me all alone after 2 years of being with her. After this, i cant control myself to think that there will be girls that will be completely different than her because i was deeply hurt and to think that after a week of being separated shes already with someone else. that is just fucked up. it has not been long and the pain still lingers on me no matter what i do to keep myself busy, away from this crucial pain. I think i just met the wrong person but its so hard to let go of someone because you can already see a part of yourself on her because you already gave a piece of your heart to her. But life goes on as everyone said, and i should too. Maybe ill find someone who is capable of loving as much as i love and that will be my happily ever after ending. I am glad that all girls are not like her.
This song is so sad. Reading the meaning interpreted, totally reminds me of myself. Some of these comments hits home alot. flakboar in reading yours, i can relate. I too have been where you are at. Its been a few yrs and i felt like i could not go on. Felt so lost and empty inside. The other day i just woke up and said thats it. I will no longer dwell on him anymore. He doesn't deserve anything from me and i am going to give up on him and move on. I hope you can find the...

He doesn't deserve anything from me and i am going to give up on him and move on. I hope you can find the strength and ability to move forward from this. You are not alone. Many of us deal with things as best as we can. Its easy to say thats life and move on but its alot harder to do. Its taken me so many yrs to actually get to that point and i am more relieved for it. Its a huge weight off my shoulders. I don't necessarily think i will forget him because he was my first love but i guess you just find a way to keep going and hope that one day you meet the person that is destined to be with you always. Stay strong everyone.
I always wondered at the meaning of this song, and played with different possibilities. I didn't truly get it until a few days ago when my boyfriend broke up with me because he realized he'd never love me and be there for me as much as I loved him and was always there for him. I can really identify with this song because I was willing to do anything to make things work, and I would never have given up, but now I have no choice. I know I shouldn't have put up with everything that I did in the...

I agree, but on the YouTube video they show an old couple where the wife dies and he leaves because she died, not because of indifference or uncorresponded love. This is very troubling for me.

@Me&You_Tonight I agree with you completely. Having something similar happening right now and I don't know if I can make such a choice. When the person has opened your eyes. It is a hard choice.

@Me&You_Tonight I totally agree with this comment with one exception: Tense. As in: He actually hasn't fully given up. Examine the tense:
--"I'm giving up on you" It's "I am giving" and not "I have given"
--"I'll be the one if you want me to" It's "I will" not "I would have"

--"I'll be the one if you want me to" It's "I will" not "I would have"
The tense then does change some:
--"Anywhere, I would have followed you" suggests that perhaps he can't now, but perhaps eludes more to the feelings he has than the actual ability.

--"And I'm saying goodbye" might be the final word on the matter if he weren't pleading for a response.
If you're reading this thread you're here because in some way this song resonated with you. For me, I read more hope into it, more "this is one last go before I give up" than "I'm giving up and I want a response". But maybe that's because it's closer to what I'm hoping for in real life. Either way, great song.
@Me&You_Tonight I think it's really clear you nailed this song. A lot of songs are multi dimensional and can be interpreted in their own ways, but I agree with you - this song is clear.

Beautiful, lovely, well put. You captured the essence of the song brilliantly. I wish that there was true love out there as he loves her.
