This song reminds me of the time my best friend decided he liked me, I had infact liked him for the two years we were BEST friends, I had gone through SO much shit with him, and helped him a lot. Then he dropped me like that. Best friends means friends forever, right? This feeling makes me want to puke, I guess that's high school. .. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/12/09 To me this song means that, there's two people in a relationship and they REALLY want to be with eachother but one of them knows that it's best for them not to be with eachother. Although they both want it, Its better to let go. To me, at least | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/1/09 This song probably reminds alot of people of exes, as well as me. There are some relationships you care so much for, and you want everything to work out for the best, but you know it wont. Well, thats what this song says to me at least. I have an ex that I would do almost anything for, just to make him smile. He's a fan of Brand New, as am I (obviously), and when we broke up, I played this song constantly because it reminded me so much of my own feelings towards him. agh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/29/09 i love and hate this song. it makes me so frustrated because its so self pitying. but at the same time i cant be mad because he feels bad about what he's doing. this perfectly represents my last relationship and my ex even put it in his profile after we broke up. My opinion . | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/20/09 Personally, I feel the whole song is not intended to be sad, yet sarcastic. This reminds me so much of my ex best friend, who had intentions on hurting me, and after he did, he was really sarcastic, although I tried to remain friends. I think everyone is misinterpreting the song, its not supposed to make you sad, its more like showing people the attitude that people should have, a selfish sarcastic attitude. Not saying that selfish or sarcastic are good, but that sometimes you just need to protect yourself from getting hurt, we need to "block our own shot." After we get into relationships that make us realize the damage that might be done, we need to get out of that relationship in order to block your own shot; prevent what you started. So, the song is basically an apology for getting into that relationship, but his sarcasm is for the damage he knew she might have caused. He hurt her first to save himself... I think we should all try it, maybe the world won't be so bummy, maybe we all will know that everyone is going protect themselves, therefore no one will get hurt ... Bittersweet | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/09 My ex was really into brand new, we broke up a while ago because he needed to get his head sorted, when he decided we should break up we said we would spend one more day together as a couple, to say goodbye and then go out separete ways. Because although it was for the best, it was too much to just say goodbye straight away. We had a lovely day, we went on a walk, he picked me flowers and made me dinner. As I was about to leave he said this song reminded him of me, our situation, everything he was feeling, especially the line "and it hurts a whole lot, but its missed when its gone" and he put the song on as he kissed me goodbye, it was the nicest and sadest moment of my life, now listening to this song makes me cry but it also reminds me of that time when it felt like it was just us to, and it reminds me that he did love me. So familiar. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/17/09 This song reminds me of a girl that I thought I loved, but turns out she didn't feel the same way, even though she told me she did, so I took the chance of not being with a girl who actually liked me, for a girl that I thought the world of, I'm glad that I can still be friends with both, but it's hard, this song helps so much, that whole album does in general. I know | Reviewer: Jazmin | 4/8/09 We fought, my (now) ex and I and ended it in anger. Three days later he gave me a five page letter telling me that I had broken his trust in people and he could never love again. I was his first girlfriend. It hurt me twice as bad as the fight. I cried for hours and now I cannot look at him without fighting the urge to make it better. But he won't listen. I don't want to get back with him, I just want to make him see that I am sorry and want him to be able to love again. But I can't. I hate hurting people. I do. And every word he wrote is like a dagger in my brain. They'll never leave. Even when I am with other people, his words still echo. They resonate in dissonance. Interpretation | Reviewer: Anomie | 3/16/09 I think the song personally is about suicide, but you can take it as your own interpretation. Right now it fits the situation of breaking up/giving up on some people. However, I do still believe it's about suicide. This song.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/16/09 Kinda reminds me of meh braking up with my bf... i HAD to break up with him..not because i wnated to but because i had to.... Even though i broke up with him i still loved him...he NEVER understood why. But i did it for are own good. Some times i fell like i did the wrong thing ..but then i think about it and i know taht i was right.. he said he forgave me already but i dont think taht he will forget it ...H e cryed in front of meh and gave me chocolates and a cd of are song that we had (as are song) when we were going out ..it hurt me ALOT but i know taht it was the right thing to do...days later i got this song ...put it on a cd (by it self) Gave it to him ... and i guess he listen to it ...and from there he hasnt talked to meh :( Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8
