I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed where your nightgown used to be

I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took that you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall - you and me in the dressing room

I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend
I won't think about you when I'm older
'Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)

    My Interpretation:This song is quite amazing
    (YOUR WELCOME FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS)

    As the music video goes to this song,
    Its about a relationship ending because of the drugs he is starting to sell and do,
    and he feels guilty because that everything thats coming of his relationship is him lying and fakeness
    and pretending everything is fine with her, with him,
    its of him going through the pain of dealing drugs, and lying to his girl, and the impact drugs have had upon on himself,
    Which reminds him, how innocent his girl is, and he knows she deserves better than him,
    And further into the music he passes out of a drug overdose, after slightly attacking his girl,
    because of the pain, and the drugs running through his body,
    and that signaled the end of his relationship with her, as of his death of drug overdose,

    The music video made amazing sense along with the lyrics
    both amazing lyrics, and a fitting music video :>
    Hinder is quite amazing, if only they could have been acknowledged more.

    Song Meaning:I think this song is about doing something in your past and regretting it and never saying anything about it and eventually the guilt eats you alive until you feel like the only way out is dieing because you think that the people you know deserve much better than you after whatever made you so guilty.

    Song Meaning:I definitely think this song is about regretting something you have done in the past and never telling anyone and eventually the guilt eats you alive and you feel bad for what you have done and cant live with the guilt and eventually feel like dieing is the only way out.

    General Comment:it just makes me cry when he goes:

    I told myself I wont miss you
    But I remembered
    What it feels like beside you
    I really miss your hair in my face
    And the way your innocence tastes
    And I think you should know this
    You deserve much better than me

    its really touching

    General Comment:i think its about a guy who believes that his girlfriend deserves better than him, and hes known this for a long time, and feels guilty for staying with her, knowing she deserves better. so then he ends things with her, and really misses her and wishes he'd never left her, even though he felt that he had to.

    this so reminds me of my ex, he sent it to me after we split and it made me cry for days, and i still cry when i har it coz it reminds me of him so much and yer

    General Comment:i honestly think that he was hiding the doing drugs part and he knew she could do much better than him and move on to someone who didn't do that stuff

    My Interpretation:I think the song means that the guy has broken up with this girl because he feels that he's not good enough for her and he thinks she can do much better and he wants her to achieve that better status, but it's hurting him bad and he wants her to know that.
