This song is actually about my girlfriend and I at the time. We liked one another a lot, and for kids we thought it was love. But I didn't have the capacity for true love at the time. My girlfriend wasn't dramatic or unusual - quite normal. Definitely not the tragic kind, but she was searching, waiting for a lifelong love. And I wasn't the guy, and she hadn't a clue (neither of us did tbh). But when she started figuring things out... Loving me would only break her heart, because I wouldn't be able to love her back in the way she needed. We were broken from the start.
Great song to sum up that relationship. The song appealed to me at the time, but only in hindsight do I see how perfectly it captured that young almost love.
