That's bullshit. Toumas did not love Tarja. Even if he did, this song is not about loving or not loving someone. It's about wanting to know that the years they spent together were NOT a waste. "Did you ever read what I wrote you? Did you ever listen to the words we played?" Does all of it mean NOTHING to you?
I think he gets so angry and asks the questions in such an angry way because he wants to spark her into an answer. He wants her to get so angry back that she yells, "Of course it meant something to me!" He's asking a question he already knows the answer to, just for the comfort of hearing her say it.
That's what I think anyway.
It's also interesting to note that the line "it's not the tree that forsakes the flower, but the flower that forsakes the tree" is from the book The Count of Monte Cristo and what the count actually says is "I will never go away from you but you are free to leave me at any time. It's not the tree that forsakes the flower but the flower that leaves the tree." Why Toumas would include that in his ANGRY song is beyond me.
Johannahlee: BBB is not an angry song. Of course there is some anger and frustration and sadness. It's not an hate song as you understand from the lyrics.
And what do you know that he was not in love with her? he never fully denied it. He just said that they had an emotional special relationship but nothing happened. There many things which let think that Tarja meant a lot to him.

of course I do not know anything about him for certain, since I do not know him. But I still do not think this song is about loving her or not loving her. Like I said, I thik the anger in the song, because there is some anger, is just to try and get a response. But this my opinion and could be totally wrong. There is no doubt in my mind that she meant alot to him, it's impossible to deny that, I'm just not so sure it was love
