I am really surprised with Sara's lyrics here (I believe Sara wrote this) because it is actually so open. Usually she tries to hide her meanings behind complex metaphors and such, but in this song she really let her emotions take over. I think this must have been hard for her to be so blunt because it's so raw.
This song is pretty self explanatory to me, or at least compared to their other material. To me, I interpret it as a ballad about being in a relationship or even about having unrequited feelings for someone, and you are just so beyond fed up of being on an emotional roller-coaster. You feel like you've been on and off with this person for so long, and they continue to go and come, and right now you're at this point where you're just saying "get the hell out of my life and stop hurting me". However, even though they keep hurting you, you would rather face the struggle with them rather than experiencing the pain of seeing them with somebody else. This is expressed in the bridge where she sings she's "sick inside wondering whose life you're making worth wild". By the end of the song, you hear the vulnerability that overtook her constantly throughout this struggle concerning this person you're madly in love with.
I think we all go through this phase in our life where we don't know when to draw the line when it comes to (unrequited) love. How do you know when enough is enough? How do you know when to stop holding on? This vulnerability is what I feel in this song.
So glad I was first to comment so I can be the first to share my opinion and my interpretation! This is the first time I've actually commented - usually I just analyze what other peoples' interpretations are.
