I wouldn't say this is your typical, run-of-the-mill "break up song."

It can be the broken trust between to individuals. Yes, the two distraught couple. Could be the broken bond between a brother with his brother, betrayal done between a girl from her trusted friend. A child forever hurt and tortured from neglect from their parents.

In life there are situations where we don't "want to be the one to walk away" but we have to. Everyone wants to be that one person to "make up for all those broken pieces" for our loved ones but sadly it's all a dream. Our expectations can be so high and unrealistic it's impossible to met any outrageous standards which leads to relationships being "millions miles away from where we burned the bridge." And then we're all left in a state of panic, fear, anxiety, and -worst of all - in agony.

I truly wish I could understand the minds of my loved ones. The way they're hurting, their point of view, what they see as truth and lies. To be able to "cross the oceans in your mind" to meet you at least half way to better understand. Then when life becomes too much, all the stress, the hard work, and reality of the world, selfishness and greed can cause us wanting to "find a way to blur the line" and brush our worries away. And no matter what, "everything was a lie" and between any parties there will no way to "wash the blood from your hands." We cannot escape whatever wrongs we committed to one another. Whether it be for all the right or wrong reasons. To finally tread on to find "the strength to say goodbye."

Nobody deserves to be in pain or suffer. Sadly enough, there are times where you just have to turn away and let that one person be.
