Lyric discussion by moosewood 

This song really touched me – I first heard it riding with my son in his car and he was board with it and tried to change stations and I almost caused an accident ripping his hands off the controls.

For I was identifying totally with that song – been there – done that

It is very much a woman’s song-

You meet a man, he is perfect, he seems to really care for you and you love him and you in your mind convince yourself that he is the one. As a woman you have build an illusion of what you believe is your perfect mate and you think you have found the man that matched your dream - he is perfect, he seems to really care for you and you love him and give yourself totally for you have convince yourself that he is the one.

And you are again waiting for him to come to you – but he is late – and you are struck with the realization that he no longer rushes to be with you, you have ceased being important to his life - he does not love you back, he is board with you - the conversation has run dry - he is not really giving to you, you are now just convenient just something to be used until he finds someone better.

You suddenly see the truth and you lose all faith and hope for the relationship, you had given your all for this love which is nothing to him, you are torn, emotionally devastated, overwhelmed with shame that you gave so much to someone who gave so little and thus you feel so exposed, so naked bound and broken, you had given him everything, and your everything was nothing to him

you are so right moosewood. i am going throught the same thing right now.i totally gave this guy everything and he threw my love back in my face.

@moosewood I really love your interpretation of this song, i actually used to thinking nothing much of this song until I got older and began relating to it much more strongly. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I agree 100% with you on everything you said here.

@moosewood This is very much an anyone who has had their heart broken song. I fell in love with a girl in Atlanta (where I was born and raised) who moved to North Florida. She asked me to come with and said that she wanted to marry me. In a few months I relocated, and you can guess what happened. 2 weeks in she broke it off. So there I sat in a strange place not knowing anyone. A city boy in a small southern town. I was alone, depressed, and heartbroken for 6 months. I didn't really hear this song,...
