I think this song is about a guy that loved this girl, but she moved away and lived with one of his friends. He is trying to call her a tell her that he doesn't care about her anymore and that he's fine, but he can't even convince himself. "I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels." And then he starts to cry when he realizes she will never love him. "There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time I think about a love that I thought would save me." Overall, a pretty sad song.

@mypointofview going through the effort to tell people who've moved on that it's YOU who is ok simply means that you're NOT ok, you just haven't gotten to acceptance yet.
