Lyric discussion by star_watcher321 

I think that goodcharl is pretty much right on the money. It's more like a girl/guy who had so many problems in life at an early age that they can't get over and how life's experiences mold you to be who you are. I alway's saw it as a girl who was either sexually abused as a child or raped because it seem's that he is in love with her but she cannot let go of this horrid past and he is just trying to be there for her."I saw the dream's you never thought you'd lose get lost along the way." It's almost as if he is saying that she's lost so much already but she is losing more because she is still holding onto the pain. "Scars are souvenirs you never lose , the past is never far did you lose yourself somewhere out there , did you get to be a star Don't it make you sad to know that life is more that who we are you grew up way too fast and now there's nothing to believe and reruns all become our history a tired song keeps playing on a tired radio..." this whole verse is saying how she will never forget the past (hence the scars) and that these experiences made her have to grow up fast. The tired song reference to me is how you know when someone plays a song over and over again because of the lyrics and such (I play this one all the time) emotions that it brings. Anyway the song I never saw as being about orphan's I think the line about the grown up orphans who never knew there names was more like a metaphor for somehow losing contaact with her parents or them disowning her or whatever. It very well could take that stand point I just never saw it that way. This is though one of my top 5 songs of all time so I kinda like letting people decide what it means to them.

Thats exactly what i thought though i think they still could be orphans who kinda got taken from there parents like the line that says you dont belong to no one thats a shame. i think thats like him saying we never had anyone to teach us and the growing up way to fast was because of that good analysis though
