even though this songs been over commercialized and raped now, it still holds a special meaning which most deep people would understand even if they havent gone thru it. when i was 12 i started going out with this guy, and he very soon became the one person i truely loved. althou he knew about the type of shit i was in, drugs, alcohol, cutting myself.. he still accepted me for what i was.. but then it got too unbearable for him.. so i changed.. went cold turkey all by myself by 13, relapsed about 10 times, and all through out, he stuck with me. then after a year and a half, i quit. for good. but u cant hide from something that doesnt go away.. and we couldnt hide from me. tru i fucked up less and wasnt addicted, but i was stil the same person. so this song and epiphany perfectly describes that relationship. i broke up with him, attempted suicide 6 times in 6 months, not because of him, but because of myself. its passive dependency laced with a bit of longing, but too much pride to go back with ur tail between ur knees. i just recently turned 15, this is not the life i was meant to lead.
