Lyric discussion by goodmorningmisterben 

A few days ago I listened to this song about 9000 times in a row and realized that I've been in a situation almost exactly like this. He loves her so much, but the relationship just isn't working out. She won't commit. She won't call out his name, turn on her light, et cetera. He really really loves her, but she wasted his time, she wouldn't take what he could give but only wanted what he couldn't give. He wants to stay, and he wants her to be able to commit so that he can, but she won't. He says the really hard stuff in here. Even though he loves her, he's willing to tell her that she really screwed up a good thing. - I absolutely love this song. So much.

I too am in the same situation. The guy initiated that everything was going to be great and that he wanted to be with me, but when it finally came down to it, he couldn’t commit. I don’t hate him, but he did waste a good year of my life :/ And so I agree with everything you said about this song- it’s great & so true!

Most guys, and most women too, have been in this situation. And most of us have probably screwed up what might have been a good thing. So, it is like most good songs, by us, and to us.
That is what makes a great lyric: applicability.

@goodmorningmisterben What, 9000? There's no way that can be right.
