Lyric discussion by ScreamingCactus 

Okay I read some of these comments, a lot of them are wrong. This one is totally obvious.

It's a break-up song. And she's giving him the old "but I still want to be friends" line. That's why it's like a swear word to him. I don't know why women can't figure that one out, but it's like adding insult to injury. I can't think of how to dumb down "end is the only part I heard" any more. To him it's just ending, he doesn't exactly see it as gaining a friend.

The other verse is completely obvious too. He's basically saying "I wish you would tell me you love me anyway, even if you don't" ... like he would rather be lied to than have to face the truth.

Anyway. To those who had other ideas... the music gives it away.

An error occured.
