Lyric discussion by atticus020 

From a guy/my perspective:

There were a few comments that said this song was for the people that got their hearts broken. However, for me I really felt it was a song for the heart-breakers. The heart-breakers that really care for their significant other, but they just have break up with them. It's a beautiful song, and I swear it could bring tears to my eyes. There is contradiction from what I'm saying when Ben Harper sings, "but i would rather be locked to you, than live in this pain and misery." I find this song very similiar to Death Cab for Cutie's - Tiny Vessels. This song gives me courage to end a relationship for both people, and they will eventually find happiness again. This is my very first comment =) and after viewing a few comments, I really admire the people on this website for avoiding negative criticisms or comments.
