but the truth was he KNEW I was fragile and I think didn't want to hurt me. I've tried so damn hard to get this person to be the close friend I wanted so bad. Can't make them love me and want to be close friends. 'Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.īut you're on to me and all over me.' ~I love this person. The friend has 100% power in this friendship. I still didn't want to let go, I don't now. But when u have to schedule a phone call or even a 'hi, how's life? text' three weeks out. Nothing is ever good enough - there are alot of rules I have to follow for when 'the friend' is available to talk, etc. 'I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.' This just says to me I tried, I tried everything a friend could do. but I think it's crystal clear now.and this friend's happiness is important. kinda sucks when I have to be the person to let the friend go because I think he doesn't want to hurt my feelings ('You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.') because I am going through ALOT right now. i always break some rule or bother the person.

I did the right thing and told this person that there was a get out of jail free card. 'You hold me without touch.You keep me without chains.' 'Something always brings me back to you.' and I just figured out that the friendship was really basically over a few weeks over. I think the other person in this relationship (and in my case, a close friend) tries to deny he doesn't want to be friends anymore. My InterpretationGosh, I've listened to this so many times. It makes me feel like even though some people acknowledge their dependencies, it doesn't mean they are willing to let the security of them go. I also love the sweet almost comforting melody of this song entwined with the heart wrenching lyrics. I really believe you can be addicted to the way another person makes you feel even if it keeps ending badly.or maybe especially if it keeps ending badly. It's a person who knows exactly what they are getting into, knows they are going to lose everything in the end, but does it anyway again and again. Ever hear of an 'emotional cutter?' This song makes me think of people like that. A need to be accepted, to be adored, to be needed or desired. For many it does, but for a lot of people I think they can be addicted to certain emotions.

I don't think dependencies or addictions always have to refer to substance abuse or something tangable like sex or money. General CommentI actually believe everyone suffers in some way from some form of addiction, and I can see this song relating to a vast array of addictions.

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

That you're everything I think I need here on the groundīut you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go I live here on my knees as I try to make you see I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone
