Personally, I think the song is about staging an intervention. Not only does it fit in with Adam’s reason for singing this heavily about topics such as drug abuse, but also because I’ve personally dealt with people and have been to an intervention. (They don’t go well for the addict.)\n\nNotice how he reassures the person to trust them and that everyone’s here for them, waiting for the addict to be like the rest of us, (clean and healthy.)\n\nThe chorus is from the addicts perspective. They will let you down. When you finally trust them and believe that they’ll get better, they’ll just go back to using. They will let you down.\n\nThe solo near towards the end is the cries of help from the addict. They never wanted to come down to an intervention, because they know they’ll just end up letting people down again.
