I think that this song is supposed to be about unrequited love, but the guy in the song doesn't love the woman or what she presents to him (really). It's more about what she represents to him. He keeps his renditions of her on the wall. He's in love with his fantasy version of her. He's the one that wants what he can never have. He's in love with Hope. The guy in the song = like me.

@jennifer s I never thought of it that way, but that makes so much sense! Very sad when you think about it...
