Lyric discussion by sokorny 

A relationship that perhaps they feel responsible for allowing to dissolve. They held the rope to rescue the situation, but instead let them down (the song sort of suggests that they didn't really want to rescue the situation anyway).

The song title to me sort of suggests the internal struggle going on within that person, trying to come to grips that perhaps they intended the relationship to fail (but they are trying to simultaneously refuse that truth).

An error occured.
