Lyric discussion by seyes 

I have to agree with the husband dying interpretation. But that's from my own personal experience...I am recently widowed. This song really hit home the first time I heard it - it's definitely how I feel most days and nights. It's hard being in our old home without him. I see him when I'm sleeping. I hear him telling me that he 'hates seeing me this way'. Some moments I want the memories to go away...and then instantly regret thinking that and never want them to, even if that means always being in pain - always feeling like I"m going crazy. But I do agree - there seems to be many ways to interpret it. It's just a sad and beautiful song. Love it.

@seyes .. Same. I was widowed 4 years ago, both in our early 40s. This song says exactly what I thought and felt at the time. Somedays I swear I can even hear him saying these things to me. In fact, nothing has changed about how I feel today.
