Late last night I was looking through pictures.
Flooded with memories I lied on the floor.
Then spread them around like friends at a party.
Their faces remind me of all that I've known.
Still I can't forget

All the hush who it was.
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs take a walk through the past.
You and I hand in hand as we look at this thing called us.

Late last night I was pacing the hallway.
Reading the letters you'd signed X and O
I turned out the lights and imagined you with me.
I tried my hardest to cry but it just wouldn't come.
Still I can't forget

All the hush who it was.
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs take a walk through the past
You and I hand in hand as we look at this thing called us.

All the hush who it was.
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs take a walk through the past
You and I hand in hand as we look at this thing called trust.

Still I can't forget All the hush who it was.
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs take a walk through the past
You and I hand in hand as we look at this thing called us.
All the hush who it was.
All the fiction and lies all the tears and the laughs take a walk through the past
You and I hand in hand as we look at this thing called trust.

    General Comment:The music is so pretty in this song. And Justin's vocals are just great, especially in the chorus. No interpretation needed here really, the meaning is pretty obvious I think.

    General Comment:It's pretty obvious that it's about one person cheating on another. the chorus is very, very catchy. And sad.

    General Comment:I think there was a lot of drama

    a lot of rumers about one of them cheating on the other

    All the hush who it was. All the fiction and lies

    as we look at this thing called trust.


    He still loves her even if she cheated But hes very hurt by it But at the same time hes getting over and really doesnt want to

    Reading the letters you'd signed X and O
    I turned out the lights and imagined you with me. I tryed my hardest to cry but it just wouldn't come. Still I can't forget


    He Wants To call her to try to set it straight But doesnt think he should
    Late last night I was pacing the hallway

    any1 else any ideas
