To me it's about how he's with a girl who he loves but knows the feelings aren't returned. maybe she's doin some bad shit (maybe some kind of drug or something) and that might be why he says "Always knew I couldn't save you"
and about the idea that the feelings aren't returned, that may be the cause of the parts where he's singing,"Wishing you were real to me..."
I don't know.. it all just reminds me of the girl I used to live with. I loved her, but felt she didn't love me. I never told her how I felt, and it always tormented me. I was always "disconnected by her smile"... Now when I hear this song, I feel that that's what he's going through when he wrote it... I may be way off, but this is just my interpretation and why it is so fucking beautiful to me that it makes me all teary eyed. And the speaches in the beginning and middle just sort of accent the lonliness I felt even though I had her with me. I never could say anything in fear of a damaged friendship. She did cocaine, and I knew I couldn't stop her... this song just seems so perfect. Billy Corgan was a genius and he is great at projecting his feelings. He doesn't even have to make it obvious and the feelings you get from the way he sings and the way the music goes... It's just perfect.
