My absolute favorite song on this album.

Once again, I totally feel I'm at this exact point as this song.

Here's how I relate:

A change has taken place in this person and now he finds himself looking back at the past and on the brink of a bright new future. And he realizes that he's cared so much for people and that's the very reason that he's had such tragedy.

"My scars remind me that the past is real"

And just when he's ready to try again, he is reminded of his scars and how he has been so open hearted but (as the cliche goes) used, abused, and left out like trash.

Now he's ready to do his thing, and so am I! I have spent the greater part of my 26 years living for other people, trying to fix others, and bleeding for the faith of others. And now I've learned the following: That people are needy and they'll suck your life away, that you can't help what chooses not to be helped, and that the only way you can surely help people is by getting on with your own life until you can give back to them from a distance.

I am the same way and I do the same things you do, but people take things for granted and just keep wanting more and more.

I have had hard times getting over my ex-girlfriends and everyone tells me I should move on because there is nothing I can do, and I know that is true. I just don't want to except that she isn't mine anymore.

I was the person that clung to and sucked the life out of the person I loved.... We spent like every moment together for almost 2 years and were happy but eventually he'd had enough.... how long do you think it'll take for him to heal himself? Do you think it's possible to ever be friends?
