Lyric discussion by RomanceLady 

I do not believe this is a break up at all. I believe it is a man (or woman) who has been a friend. However, this person is getting older and has come to a point where they no longer want to be just friends (I can't light no more of your darkness), they are getting older (pictures fading) and they are at a point in their life where a decision has to be made to move forward and let the other person no how they feel.

HOWEVER, this person has been hurt so many times before, this is why it has taken so long to say something, and instead of saying it, he manipulates a situation and the love interest is offended "misread my meaning when I met you, closed the door and left me blinded by the light" and walks out, the blinding light is him realizing how wrong he was for pulling something stupid and not trusting her and telling her straight out.

He then begs, for her not to walk out on him and confesses that though he tries to be himself when he's with her he finds it very hard to open up(although I search myself its always someone else I see0. But if I were you "I'd allow of fragment of your life to wander free" - he is asking her to maybe just let her heart go and trust him because if he loses his friend as well as what he wanted because he took this chance, the sun would go down on him.

Finally he confesses that he does not know how to approach her "the right romantic line", but he just wants her to truly see him and understand that he has been really hurt before and it was very difficult for him to take this step (frozen here on the ladder of my life)...and he justs wants her to give him a chance, understand why he didn't feel he could come straight out and tell her and maybe take a chance in loving him....or her it is a very unisex song which is awesome.

@RomanceLady OMG that mad me tear up! That should be a movie. Beautifully said!
