i've always loved this song, but it seems that out of no where, i seem to have gotten a different notion of what this song may be saying. previously, i concured with the ideas of it being somewhat about unrequited love, but something seemed askew...
well, i think it's not really that. i think it's more trying to explain to a person the speaker loves and values (maybe a partner, maybe a best friend, maybe both in one), that regardless of how badly they see things around them and view themselves, that the speaker cannot help but continue to view the person with loving eyes. people make mistakes, bad choices, say and do terrible things, but when you really love and know someone for who they are, you cannot help but feel like "my eyes can't look at you any other way." the person may beat themselves up about these things, but the speaker continues to be the champion and cheerleader for that person, unconditionally.

@chicananerd I think your analysis is spot-on.
