When It Was Over Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rose/colored/glasses 

This is my interpretation. I was thinking that a couple hit a dead end in their relationship. She took a nose dive and he let her go rather than take responsibility for her actions. She later realized what she needed to do to "get right". He may have let her go but he didn't give up on her. He had faith in her and mercy on her for she probably didn't really know what she was doing at the time. Life was cloudy and she got lost. His love was unconditional and he wants to fight for them, which is why I think Sara wrote this:

"When it was over and they could talk about it They were sitting on the couch She said what on earth made you stay here When you finally figured out what I was all about He said I always knew you'd do the right thing Even though it might take some time She said, Yeah, I felt that and that's probably what saved my life"

I was thinking what saved her life was him letting her go. Perhaps she went away on her own somewhere and had a lot of time to think about things. Perhaps she went to jail, rehab, home, or somewhere else. It was what she needed to appreciate him and the better things in life.

I was also thinking that love is wonderful. Grace is amazing. God is love. There's nothing more greater than to love and be loved in return.

How do I edit my lyrics? I made a mistake. I need an eraser!
