This song is definitely about a girl who's found herself in a rough life since her old flame last saw her.
He sees that her life hasn't gone well since they were together. She's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, rather than her being on top of the world.
He doesn't sound pleased at all that her marriage has failed, and expresses that it's hard to see her this way, because he thought she was worth more.
This song shares a striking resemblance to an Alison I used to date. We met again in college some time after we'd broken up. She got interested in this guy that was always drinking, partying, and leaving the house trashed for her to pick up.
She'd expressed to me how things were hard for her, how stressed she was, how she'd messed up with "us", and how she missed so many things about our relationship. Despite this, she kept brushing me off while coming back into my life at odd times with romantic intent.
Eventually, her words became "silly" to me because she would always do the opposite of what she said she felt, and I finally "stopped her from talking" and "turned out the light" on us by walking away from her for good. It actually hurt me more to see the life she was living than anything she said or did to me, because she deserved better.
I can relate to the song. All I wanted for the Alison that I knew was to be happy; even if that meant without me. In the end, I just feel sorry for her.
I relate to this song, as I felt so much that I was 'Alison' to a boy who loved me, but I wouldn't/couldn't return that love. It struck me that this song reflected exactly his feelings for me... I was so full of my own self-importance that I neglected his true feelings.
