The song is basically about a heart broken woman who just can't get over all the wonderful times spent with her lover. She is disillusioned but forces her mind to reject the bitter truth. There is also a suicide vibe to it as the woman feels that "it's a long way down" from the ledge of a roof so high that overlooks the city where they once had a joyful time. The song beautifully enunciates the foolery of a particular broken-hearted feminine lover.
