and they both simply want it all to go away now as the pain is killing them both. I think they both are admitting that they dont 'feel it anymore'.they dont feel the love anymore. but she knows whats done is done and cant be changed. he sees the relationship falling apart and admits that its his doing.Īnd the girl is reminding him that she has 'worked hard for years', trying to make it work.that she has given him the best years of her life, her youth. he can remember their relationship and 'what is was'. he realises that their relationship is now dying.and he realises its his fault. that the relationship cannot be saved now and it will hurt more than anything theyve known to end it finally. The first verse to me feels like he has just realised whats been happening. he hasnt done it intentionally, but its just in his personality to be that way. but perhaps he has spent too many years loving her, but not taking it seriously or 'messing around' in his words, being immature and thinking he had forever to get it right.too many years thinking she'll just always be there, loving her but taking her for granted. a couple who met when they were young.and theyve spent many years together. ![]() To me this song isnt necessarily about infidelity, but about love that hasnt been nurtured. i couldn't make it go away, and so i knew there was nothing i could really do. i'd find her, collapsed, crying on the bathroom floor, for instance. time would pass, but seemingly at random, she would just break down. part of me, i think, can't help but feel that perhaps this was partially that thing that really did us in. both my relationship, and myself personally, were complicated and had a fair share of issues.

"Great songs will find a way it ain't the singer it's the song I was told." There's truth there, but for me, seeing him in Nashville in 2018, it was undoubtedly his voice that got me listening.I relate to it in that i too had to tell my girlfriend, after we'd been together a significant amount of time, that i had done something horrible.
