This is one of those songs that can mean anything you want it to.
So the first time I heard it, she played it to me when I loved her, but she told me the video wasn't what she thought it meant and I should come up with my own interpretation. We were best friends for a long time before we were together but I always had a soft spot for her... 'Not the way that friends behave.'
We were in a long distance relationship- 'love you from afar.'
I thought she was calling herself the 'willing fool' for falling in love with me, and we were never very good at being open about our feelings and music was something we both relied on a lot emotionally.
'It shouldn't come as a surprise, what I'm feeling now'- I heard this in her voice, telling me how she felt through these lyrics.
SINCE THEN
She left me, she's seeing another guy and I'm still in love with her.
I used to hear the lyrics from her perspective but now I realise who she really is, I've found that they actually make so much more sense coming from mine.
'You told me boy bite your tongue'- the empty promises. Whenever I asked or worried about us, she'd tell me to stop pestering her about it.
'That's not the way that friends behave.'- This is my voice saying this isn't the way anyone who cares about you should treat you.
'I've been living on the crumbs of your love'- the few things she gave back when I gave her everything.... 'and i'm starving now'- my desperation from trying so hard, and my weakness now that it's ended.
'Two falling sparks, one willing fool'- I'm the willing fool for falling for her and believing everything she told me, relying on her and trusting her.
'I always knew that I would love you from afar'- even when we were long distance friends I always had a soft spot for her, and that only grew.
'It shouldn't come as a surprise, what I'm feeling now'- This is the main part for me. We were together for a significant amount of time and when she ended it she was annoyed by how much I cared. She moved on so quickly with his life and couldn't understand what I felt. After how much I tried, it shouldn't have been a surprise.
