Well its hard to explain
but Il'l try if you let me,
Well its hard to sustain
I'll cry if you let me.

This doesn't change the way i feel about you or your place in my life.
(please don't cry)
Cant you see I'm dying here a shot of broken heart that is chased with fear?

Angels cry
when stars collide
I can't eat
and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way.

Intentions that were pure have turned obscure
seconds into hours, minutes into years.
Don't ask me why
(please don't cry)
I cant tell you lies..

Angels cry
when stars collide
I can't eat
and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way.
(repeat)

My heart, burns through
My chest, to the floor.
Tearing me silently although abruptly words cant hide as I'm taking you home, and I tried to see,
tried to understand your words as I'm taking you home

Angels cry
when stars collide
I can't eat
and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way.
(repeat)

    General Comment:"While its hard to sustain, I'll cry if you let me" God its the perfect mix of sweet and sad! Makes me wanna eat Ice cream under water. I love how they mix screamo into it and still dont go overboard. Making most of there songs perfect to dedicate to someone in th etyipical emo relationship.

    General Comment:I don't think its about a break up at all. i agree with mannysrain. its about someone who fell in love with "a friend". its happening to me right now. it just make sense to be about a break up. too many contradictions. but yeah its amazing. i don't want to say anything to the girl of my dreams cause i don't have a snowballs chance in hell with her. but if i did it would mirror this song. not intentionally thats just how it would probably happen if it did.

    Song Meaning:I think this is about being in love with somone, like a good friend, who doesn't love you back.
    "Well It's hard to explain..." That might be about when you tell them, and you could cry because they don't love you back.
    "This doesnt change..." This is about how no matter how the one you love feels, you love them anyways, and nothing could change that. Your heart is broken, as they don't love you back.
    The chorus, I think it's like that it' so tough going through this, that they find it hard to do everyday things. And 'I wouldn't want it any other way', because if your friends you will be more likely to be together forever.
    "Intentions that were pure..." That might be that this pain your going through is changing you, and instead of just living through the day happily, maybe you want to cut yourself or soemthing...(NOT GOOD CHILDREN!)
    "My heart burns..." You've told them how you feel, and it breaks your heart how they don't love you back. The "I'm taking you home" part is about how you are taking them home after your confession, and how you are having trouble imagining that they don't love you back.


    Ya, I know this is complicated....but that's how I work XD

    General Comment:This is a very beautiful song... One of my fave RJA songs. I feel it's about a love that has lost it's meaning and all the glory it once had and it's time for it to end.

    General Comment:Actually, I believe this song is about a breakup on HIS part. She must have done something to cause them to breakup... he doesn't want to do this because he still loves her but he also knows he can't be with someone who would betray him or whatever it is that she did. She loves him too and is very sad about this and it is evident in the song that she posesss much regret. He is very heart broken and wishes she never would have done what she did.
