All of the Truth Lyrics
It is not the past few days
That have made me feel this way And it is not the tiny marks of doubt That cover everything I see It is just the way she looks at me With a love so complete That I have never seen And from this grows a strong, undying guilt The feeling of regret for things I never felt But oh, I wanted to change And become what she needs I know what she needs What I can never be

That have made me feel this way"
Conor is saying that he's been this way as long as he can remember.He probably did something to make him feel down. Maybe had a few to many drinks and pills, the way that he does, and everyone thinks that is the reason why he feels this way,but he tries to explain to them that he always felt like this. People probably tell him that he makes up excuses to feel this way nd he just brings himself down on purpose, but he knows that it is not true...
"And it is not the tiny marks of doubt
That cover everything I see
It is just the way she looks at me
With a love so complete
That I have never seen"
Conor is not used to the way she looks at him and the way that she excepts him for who he is...
"And from this grows a strong, undying guilt
The feeling of regret for things I never felt"
She loves him and will wait for him to get better, but he does not feel the same. I think Conor is just numb, numb from everything around him. It's like he doesn't feel anything anymore. He doesn't know what love is, happiness or the feeling of having someone care about him that much, I don't think he knows how to deal/react to it. I'm pretty sure he never really felt that someone truly cares about him the way she does...
"But oh, I wanted to change"
Conor doesn't want to disappoint her and knows that he should change, but he is just to exhausted from everything around him to actually start.
"And become what she needs
I know what she needs"
Conor knows what kinda girl she is. He knows that she deserves someone who would lift her up higher and higher each time. But Conor knows that he can't give her that, he doesn't want to, because he is going to feel the same way he does now in a few days, and he does not want to make her be involved with that...
"What I can never be"
I feel as if conor wants to change, but he doesn't know where to begin, where to get a grasp on all the things that is pulling him down...
*I am feeling like this now, and have been for a wile, so I know where Conor is coming from. It's sad to know that people are feeling the same way too.

that has made me feel this way"
-He's feeling horrible about it and it's not due to anything else
"And it is not the tiny marks of doubt
that cover everything I see"
-He has no confidence in himself and doubt everything
"It is just the way she looks at me
with a love so complete that I have never seen"
-She loves him more than her own life. And he knows it. He knows how much she cares and it scares the shit out of him because he's never had that before. He's probably spend the majority of his life feeling so unloved that this change has caught him completely off gaurd. And he doesn't know what to do.
"And from this grows a strong undying guilt
and the feeling of regret for things I've never felt"
-He's either so emotionally numbed by depression that he can't give her any love or he simply doesn't know how to truly love someone, like he knows she deserves. But either way, he just doesn't have the same feelings for her, He cares about her so much that it's killing him. And the fact that he knows how much she loves him and he can't love her back tears him apart.
"And oh, I wanted to change
I wanted to change and become what she needs"
He so desperately wants to be right for her. He wants to give her everything she needs and deserves, but he just can't. He doesn't have those feelings and he believes he's too much of a mess himself to ever be good enough for her.
"I know what she needs
Know what she needs
What I could never be"
He wants to be everything and more for her, but he knows in his heart that he will never be what she needs. He knows he can't give that back to her and he wishes he could.
Love really hurts.
I've been through what Conor has before and it practically killed me.

however, he was a jackass about it and didn't ever sing me anything or express any sentiments at all vaguely resembling the ones in this song. this song would make me cry if i wasn't so emotionally numb, it's so true. it's the worst feeling in the world when you invest all of yourself in a person and then find out they don't love you back.

With a love so complete
That I have never seen
- she is so in love with him, and he knows it.
And from this grows a strong, undying guilt
The feeling of regret for things I never felt
- but he knows he doesn't love her back
But oh, I wanted to change
And become what she needs
I know what she needs
What I can never be
- he knows that he should love her, too. there's no reason he shouldn't. but he just doesn't. even thought he knows exactly what she needs and deserves, but he just isn't in love with her.

In my opinion, Conor is trying to get the visual of a guy dating this girl, he does have feelings for her and does want to be with her.. the girl loves him and does the best she can to make him happy.. and he is almost intimidated by her ability to do so much for him and to care so much for him, he's never experienced a love quite like the love he has with this girl.. and he's scared. He wishes he could return the same love and commitment she has for him.. but he knows he's never going to be good enough, never going to be fully the guy for her.. and because she seems perfect to him in every way, he doesn't feel as if he'll ever match up to her expectations, so he simply gives up. and yet he feels guilty at the same time because he does have those feelings.. but sometimes feelings aren't enough to satisfy another's needs.

he has a girl who likes him and wants to love him but he is feeling so inadequate about who he is and that he couldn't ever fulfill her wishes or expectations.
He feels guilty because he has not found happiness or friendship and has not lived like she lives or like what she expects that he has lived. He is not good enough (and he'll never be) for her and he knows it, and he wanted to change to become good enough or become that person (he thinks) she has in mind.
It's killing him and I relate because I am currently going through what he is describing and it's killing me.
Peace.

the honesty of this line gets to me every time. He knows that he's "supposed to" love her, but he just can't feel that way... don't we all know how that feels?
