Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart too broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken

Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me

I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break
I crave, I love, I've waited long enough
I try as hard as I can
I laugh, I feel, I make believe it's real
I fall, I freeze, I pray down on my knees
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man
I try as hard as I can

    My Interpretation:I thought the song was about a relationship Kasey was in that was not going well. She was responding emotionally to all the tugs and pulls of life - and he saw her as manipulative. She gave it everything she had...........he didn't realize what he had.......... (his loss).

    General Comment:This was the first ever single I ever bought with my OWN money... Cost a whole 5 dollars. From that point on, at my tiny little primary school, it was like a competion to who loved her most. Everyone sang this song and talked about what it meant and bought Barricades and Brickwalls. The singles would come out and it was a race to get "the new one" first. Kinda funny, now I think of it... If someone had it first, we were so jealous of each other. I had the first 3 albums and they're still good to listen to when I'm sad. Even if my music taste has changed and I'm more of an alternative rock fan than country/pop, Kasey is so unique.

    General Comment:I know it's about pop idols, whatever. But to me it also perfectly describes the way it feels to love someone who doesn't love you in return.

    General Comment:I think you people are being too superficial and retarded when you're saying what you think the song means. Take from it what you will, but don't try to preach to everyone what the artist REALLY wanted to say because you're not the artist. She COULD be talking about a guy she loves that's leaving. The whole "she was sad because whores were getting airplay" motif- I don't think so, but.. that's my own opinion. I agree with GuitarGirl.. it's all about what it means to YOU. Not what you think it should mean to everyone......

    General Comment:my weird experience with this song... i was on the road coming back from somewhere... and on the right lane next to us, this guy i liked (still do like) that i went out with for like 2 months (but he's just too busy now), he came out of his car and started waving at us, lol. (we were in left lane) and i hadn't seen him in like 1-2 months... and i started feeling crappy/sad after the green light when on and he jetted back in his car and we drove away... and then i heard this song come on the radio about 1 minute later.. and i started crying.. sigh.
