I freaking love this song. Hayley just has a way of getting me completely, you know? I think this song is one that everyone can relate to, and it could mean something different depending on the problems you might have in your life. I think it's about the pressure building up in your life and sometimes you just wish you could escape it all. You start to feel empty because you want to block it out when it gets all too much.
For me personally, this song describes the build up of everything over time... school, work, family, friends, past relationships, my anxiety issues. Most of the time I can handle it all pretty well, but there comes a point where sometimes I feel like I can't take it. And that's what I fear the most, because I want to be able to handle it and be successful in every way but there's a voice inside me that says, 'you can't do it'. And the only person there to help me is ME. The last line of the song really touches me - it's almost like you're defeated... you feel like giving up. You feel you'll never be good enough for anyone or anything, so you decide that everyone would be better off without you.
