Personally, I feel like the whole song is about the line "It's not like I believe in everlasting love"

I think a story is used to describe how people fall in and out of love. It's sad, kind of like... wishing that there could be everlasting love, rather than just broken promises and broken hearts?

The story seems to tell of how two people want to believe in everlasting love, but know better due to the "the ghosts that broke my heart before I met you." The emotions described are part of the story, the result of having their hearts broken.

The lines "He went crazy at nineteen, Said he’d lost all his self esteem" perhaps is despair at having lost the belief in everlasting love, but still wanting to hold onto it. The next line "And couldn’t understand why he was crying" implies almost a childish longing for what he once believed in and yet he's grown up, why is he crying?

The story then seems to tell of how perhaps it was fate that made them meet, so they could mourn together for their loss of belief in everlasting love, knowing that, although they are together, they will not always be as love does not last forever.

Spot on. I was reading through them because i felt i was missing some points and you've nailed it and ill read no more passed this one. thanks and wonderful. ill probably read it a few moer times before i depart.

An error occured.
