The first few lyrics remind me of looking back at the one I loved and was leaving behind "Car is parked, bags are packed but what kind of heart doesn't look back?" to the comfortable glow of the porch the one I will still call yours" it reminds me Of no matter how much I convinced myself he wasn't meant to be a part of my life I had to look back and I thought of him as having a very soothing presence. This song to me speaks of a girl who loved a guy so much that she defined breathing as being with him. She is leaving him but not because she doesn't love him, it's because in her heart she knows he'll never truly love her back and that they aren't right for each other. It still doesn't stop her from thinking of him as the air she once peacefully breathed in. "The love he holds in his hands" is actually the love she has for him, she's given him her heart. "My burden is a love I can't carry anymore" tell us how badly she wants to hold onto that piece of him she still has, those memories but loving him is so painful, remembering him hurts so much that she must steel herself to forget. Even trying to let go of him who is so precious to her is a burden, like loving him was also a burden. As she looks back all those words she told herself to move on come undone and her resolve is weak and she questions if the fire still burns. But she knows moving on is the only right thing to do so she does. She knows and understands him so well that he is a reflection of all she is and all she had- because being with him so much has also made her who she is. And she thinks she would kill to go back tithe time when she could be with him and loved him until reality came along and made her realize her fate is to move on. She moves on with a heavy heart but always remembers and compares every joy in her life with the joy of knowing him and loving him. She tries to forget him but in the back of her head he is the truest happiness she has ever known. She prays therefor, and her prayer is a form of giving up,- that even of she can't be with him, there must be a hope of them belonging together again someday. That someday he will love her again. Someday she would be able to laugh in his company again. Someday she might find happiness again even of it means truly forgetting him. And that- that someday, she'll breathe again.
