The Darkest Season Lyrics

I think that this song is about losing or being away from someone. It's winter, and she's missing the person 'even though it's been a year.' In the second verse it seems like she's trying to forget (enough) but in the fourth verse, she explains that in more detail. She has moved on and is 'alright on my own' but still misses the person. I totally relate to this feeling of half wanting to forget so it doesn't hurt anymore and half wanting the person back.
