  General Comment:"The truth is you could slit my throat
  And with my one last gasping breath
  I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt" -- So dramatic and so amazing <3
  
  Obviously a song bout loving the wrong person...knowing its wrong...yet still wanting them. We've all been there :)

  My Interpretation:My interpretation of the song is based off my past relationship.
  
  >>This song is from the girls point of view, how shes reminiscing about this particular guy.. yadda yadda yadda...while hes all too over her...<<
  
  She said, "Don't,
  Don't let it go to your head
  Boys like you are a dime a dozen,
  Boys like you are a dime a dozen"
  
  >>She saying that he isn't anything special, that she's dated a lot of guys like him<<
  
  She said,
  "You're a touch overrated,
  You're a lush and I hate it,
  But these grass stains on my knees
  They won't mean a thing"
  
  >>basically, im guessing that she says she doesn't care about him..saying that it was all just a summer fling but then again she wants him to stop his drinking habits for his own good (contradicting what she said that he doesn't mean anything to her)<<
  
  
  And all I (all I)
  Need to know (need to know)
  Is that I'm something you'll be missin'
  (Is that I'm something that you'll miss, it's pathetic)
  (Maybe I should hate you for this)
  Maybe I should hate you for this
  Never really did ever quite get that far,
  (Maybe I should hate you for this)
  Maybe I should hate you for this
  Never really did ever quite get that...
  
  >>the lies she said earlier comes crashing down on her.. he truly does mean something to her and all she wants to know is if he'll even miss her once she's gone but then she feels pathetic for even asking that since she feels that she's the one who pushed him to hurting her and she knows that she should hate him for all the shit that they went through but no matter what she just can't<<
  
  I'd never lie to you
  Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to
  Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to
  The truth is you could slit my throat
  And with my one last gasping breath
  I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt
  
  >>then when they're over she say's that she never actually meant to hurt him.. and that the only reason she only said those hurtful things was to keep herself from getting hurt.. and now shes saying she doesnt care anymore no matter how much hurt he puts her through she'll still be there for him..<<
  
  And all I (all I)
  Need to know (need to know)
  Is that I'm something you'll be missin'
  (Is that I'm something that you'll miss, it's pathetic)
  (Maybe I should hate you for this)
  Maybe I should hate you for this
  Never really did ever quite get that far,
  (Maybe I should hate you for this)
  Maybe I should hate you for this
  Never really did ever quite get that...
  
  >>time goes by and she's still not over him.. she keeps on thinking if he'll even miss her now that she's gone but she knows its pathetic to even think about it since hes moved on... and on... and on..<<
  
  'Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
  This'll be the last chance you get to drop my name
  'Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
  This'll be the last chance you get to drop my name
  
  >>She knew in the first place that this relationship wouldn't ever work..that this thing would just end up badly..and from the beginning she knew one of them would have get hurt.. and she tried her best not to be that 'one'...<<
  
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
  (if only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
  (if only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
  If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
  
  >>and he could say shit about her to all of his friends.. how shes this and that.. and even its hurts so bad.. she STILL cannot hate him.. no matter how hard she tries.. if only he gave her the chance to explain.. if only he knew the situation as much as he pretended to..
  
  Maybe I should hate you for this
  (If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
  (I slept here, too hopeful, and you failed to return my calls...)
  Maybe I should hate you for this
  (If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
  (Someone to hope for, too let down to sell her...)
  
  >>trying her best to get him back.. but she knew all to well.. he was over her.. hence the 'failed to return my calls'<<
  
  
  it's been a year and four months.. i know all too well he wont be reading this.. but i wish he did.. i wish he'd just give me the time of day to explain.. ehh. one day he'll realize.... im the only one who cared about him enough to put up through all of his bull shit.. ehh enough blogging.. so yeah thats what i think of the song.. it's probably not even like that but every song speaks differently to everyone else who listens..

  General Comment:the grass stains is about sex... and that he's still meaningless to her even know they fucked... this songs simply about being dated lead on then the girl dumping you and saying your just like everyone else and are totally unmemorable and meaningless

  General Comment:this song,
  describes me perfectly.
  
  (switch the genders obviously,)
  
  but basically what its saying
  is that a girl dumped him, and no matter how much he
  should hate her for it, he knows he never will .
  no matter how shitty she treats him, he will always
  try to be the bigger person .

  General Comment:Sounds like a pretty desperate song. Grass stains on his knees could be from begging this girl to be with him. Just my two cents
