I miss you now
I guess like I should have missed you then
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind, in and out of windows
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I feel and what would matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for me
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
I'll tell you now
I guess like I should have told you then
The thunder moves like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I know and what should matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for you
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need

I guess like I should have missed you then
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind, in and out of windows
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I feel and what would matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for me
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
I'll tell you now
I guess like I should have told you then
The thunder moves like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I know and what should matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for you
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need

I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need."
perfection.
i think thats one of the most beautiful lines on this whole album.
in the song, she could be saying that consolation isn't really her strong point. because she is in the dark herself. she can't give relief to someone else when she can't even provide it for herself.
this lady i know, i think her names Oprah?, once told me that you can't "fix" others without first "fixing" yourself.. wise woman
i think it's about someone who had a relationship which didn't work out, they broke up because she (in this song) didn't understand her because of the way she is 'And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me', she's difficult to understand and she wants to change that but doesn't know how and where to begin. After a while she's missing that person who she should be missing when they just broke up, she regrets the things she didnt say back then and wished she could change that.
She doesn't know what's important to her and what is not. She's having trouble sleeping because she's only thinking about that person. I think that person has got a new relationship which would explain the 'Now there's no point in reaching out for me'
anyway, i think it's something like this. I have the same thing with someone right now and when i listen to this song i wished i could go back in time and say all the things i wanted to say to him.
" I miss you now like I should have missed you then." And she is questioning if being back together is something that is more harm than good or if it might work out. She is unable to sleep when she's sleeping next to her lover because she is thinking too much and questioning everything, she cant get relief and therefore cannot offer relief. She is too uptight and uncertain to really open herself or to give any kind of deep affection and emotion to her lover. : "I can't untangle what I feel and what would matter most I can't close an eye, can't close an eyelid...Now there's no point in reaching out for me
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief"
I think she is then conisdering what the end will be like. she thinks her lover will be very confused and have a hard time understanding where she is coming from and will be thrown off that the singer is taking a stand and is strong enough to end things. the singer has always been so passive and seemingly content until now:
" And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this, I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
I'll tell you now, I guess like I should have told you then
That thunder moves like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework"
Thats just a total guess, but i know thats exactly how i have felt in a relationship before. losing my love, losing sleep and being totally void of giving relief or getting any myself.
