While this town is busy sleeping,
All the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
'Cause she'll never change her ways.
Don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart feels so still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Oh I think I've forgotten her now.
Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her,
Was sober with no place to go.
Don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.
Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of the words, all of her men,
All of my pain when I think back to when.
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Tell yourself over and over
You won't ever need her again.
But don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.
Oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.
All the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
'Cause she'll never change her ways.
Don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart feels so still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Oh I think I've forgotten her now.
Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her,
Was sober with no place to go.
Don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.
Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of the words, all of her men,
All of my pain when I think back to when.
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Tell yourself over and over
You won't ever need her again.
But don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.
Oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.

He talks about their love, About how it starts off beautifully and then it slowly but surely fades away and begins to die. He talks about how she is "full of wine" (Immature, like how you are while you are drunk) and that the world around her is sober (Mature) and that her immaturity no longer has a place in the world - He is begging her to grow up
He thinks back about his relationship and relizes that she never loved him and she only viewed him as a toy - Something that she played with until she got bored and found something new. He remembers the pain of finding out that it is all a lie, that her love was a joke, and that the smell of the bed gave away what she had done (cheated on him).
He continues walking and tells himself that he wont ever need her again, that he wont ever see her again. Yet he knows that its a lie and even in his best efforts to forget about her, He knows that she is still out there some where.
Dropping her petals IN LAND UNKNOWN
not 'man I know'.
Almost every source I've found says something like 'pain I know' or 'man I know', but if you listen carefully, 'in land unknown' is what he's really saying.
i guess it pretty much speaks for itself. its about trying and know you have to get over someone, being angry about what they did to, and yet still...
'As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
Oh I think I've forgotten her now'
it was weird, when i first heard this song, i was having trouble deciding between two girls. one that loved me with everything, and then the one that had been so wrong for me before that i can just never get over. i swear i wouldn't keep this on repeat because i felt like jeff buckley was just here to narate my life. i think that's what hooks people to him, he's so good and getting his message deep into feeling, he knows what people go through and he knows the perfect way to put it.
