Wouldn't Be a Lie Lyrics

Cover art for Wouldn't Be a Lie lyrics by Ben Howard

This other person he is singing about sounds a little depressive to me. All the negative views and the crying... He tried to help but didn't succeed in making things better. Now he is alone/not near to this person. Maybe he thought it was too much of a struggle to be near to this someone. But even besides all the fighting he had to go through he now feels lonely and wants the other person in his life again.
