I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said

Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I've had other options too
But all I want is you

Girl, your body fits me like a glove
Ands you shower me with words of love
While you were just friends
At least that's what you said

Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've don't
If you say that I'm the one

It's not my style to lay it on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true?
You know I trusted you
When you were just friends
At least that's what you said

Now I know better from his fingers in you hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
You were just friends
At least that's what you said

Not I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you

    My Interpretation:I think this song is definitely about a break up. In which he see's his ex talking to a new guy.
    I think this and can relate to the fact it says "Ill forgive you for what you've done, if you say that I'm the one"
    With my last break-up I had a similar time, in which my ex completely messed me about. But I knew if she would to come back, and "tell me I'm the one" I would forgive her.

    This is definitely the song I can relate to most in the album. Although I think alot of them are "break-up" related in someways.

    General Comment:I think it's about a guy who is committed to this girl and he senses that the girl is having an affair with another guy because it's so obvious. The girl denies it and says they're just friends and because the guy loves her so much, he forces himself to believe that he's the only one for her and that they're happy.

    General Comment:I like the part when he says I had other options too because it is so obvious that he just wants her. i am in a similar situation because the guy that i am seeing right now is also hanging out with a 'friend' a lot ...i am trying to keep my options open but i am just fooling myself because i want him

    General Comment:Proper brake up song this... Love it with all my heart... Urgh... ' just friends' almost as bad as ' we need to talk' & ' its not you its me' .... I can relate to this song and ex of mine ( gos rest her soul) Must of cheated on me so many times.. I dont know half of the people. But i always forgave her.. She was my everything.. I just learnt to look past it.

    General Comment:This song is one of my favorite by Gavin but in my anti love approach he should be hating her but all he seems to do is be in love. That takes a lot of passion and forgiveness to still feel the same about someone who ruined a perfectly good relationship...

    General Comment:Im in love with this song! I pretty much agree with everyone, its about him being in love with this girl that cheated on him- but he still loves her and will forgive her.

    General Comment:This song shows what love can do. Seems that Gavin caught a girl acting "friendly" with another guy, little too much so. But even seeing this, he says that "I'll forgive you for what you've done
    If you say that I'm the one." He obviously cares deeply for this girl, pretty sweet.

    Gavin rocks my socks!
