Soloist #2's part has some references in there to RENT.
"in truths that she learned" Possible reference to April learning she was HIV + or Roger and Mimi learning the same about each other
"The times that he cried" Reference to Collins losing Angel
"In bridges he burned" Reference to Roger trying to get rid of his love of Mimi, by leaving for Santa Fe
"The way that she died" Reference to April's suicide or Angel's death from AIDS.
I read that somewhere and I thought it was a good explanation for that part of the song. A good song, though it isn't the best song in RENT.
