Lyric discussion by Aquaflow 

It just happened to me several days ago when I almost broke up and heard this song in How I met your mother, perfect song for interpretation of this situation of having difficulty getting rid of memory and past.

"It's always darkest before the dawn"--- it takes lots of internal painful struggle against the beautiful memories and lovely moments that are to be ceased. This indeterminaiton is the darkest and most torturing. The dawn is supposed to be the moment when you make up your mind to get over with it and let it go.

Ironically I decided to let it go and called it to an end, but he proposed that he would like to give it another try and make more effort, which he never did in the past.

This may be a positive ending, but I came to this question: Does it always have to be a goodbye that turns the situation around and make people change?

Nope, it’s not the only option. Sometimes a goodbye really is the final solution…

Sadly for men...it sure seems that way..it takes for them to realize they are about to lose the one they love or to actually lose them and it takes many months or years afterwards for the reality to settle in and them to regret making the decision to let their loved one go. It's truly is a shame that it has to be this way. ...and yes even some women do this too, though I think most women are completely done when they finally let a relationship go.
