Ugh, this song gives me all the bad feels but I do love the song itself. For me, it's one of those that came up at the exact perfect time in my life that when I heard it, I was like THIS IS ABOUT MY LIFE. GREAT.
For my situation, I'm definitely the person the narrator is singing to, and in the narrator was my best friend at the time.
Catching feelings for your best friend = never a good thing.
I definitely was putting him up on a pedestal (comparing him to diamonds), and I was upset when he continuously did not live up to my expectations, because he simply didn't return my romantic feelings for him, although he did care for me as a friend.
I think as I tried to get closer to him, he kept trying to pull away. I was angry, and I did blame him, and he truly didn't want to hurt me, but it is what it is.
So moral of the story: don't put people on pedestals cos you're just gonna be an angry, irrational jerk if they don't live up to your ridiculous expectations.
Lesson learned for me, but our friendship didn't survive and that's a bummer. This song always reminds me of that. sigh
