This song is about, yes, a guy who was betrayed by his girl. But it goes a little more like this: The guy likes the girl. The girl likes him back. They do stuff together and the guy thinks they will last a while. Then the girl meets another guy and starts to like him without telling the first guy. The first guy finds out on his own and drops his own girl because he's humble enough to let her have the other guy. Lyrics below. Pulled aside as if I was the wrong one: he was called out for something he didn't do, like dropping his girl but for a good reason. You said it all and you made me the lost one: basically states that she told him. Elevated by your greatest mistake now I'm all alone: the bad emotions have elevated by her liking the other guy and now he doesn't know what to do. I bet you couldn't tell that I felt the same way, struggling just to get to the next day: the girl feels just as bad as the guy but for an unknown reason. I'm not force fed lies while I'm by your side: he isn't going to be unaware of what could happen when they were still together. Shaking your head doesn't change this: a simple "no" won't fix the situation. Preparing myself for a train wreck I can't be saved: he sees something bad will happen and is afraid nothing will stop it. So tell me why can't you see this is where you need to be you know it's taken its toll on me but I don't feel invisible: the guy feels the girl doesn't know that she is better off with him and tries to explain by bringing up the affects on him because she liked the other guy. So I'll hope for a miracle, yeah I'll hope for a miracle: it will take a miracle to get the girl back. Holidays tend to make me feel whole again, rainy days make me feel like the dream is dead: good days cheer him up but bad days make him remember about his pain and sadness. I can show you what it's like to be all alone: he can demonstrate "alone" to anyone. I'm quite aligned to your design, what's mine is yours and that's just fine: he feels that they think alike. I'm finally acquiring the state of mind that everything is gonna be alright: he now believes that he will learn to move on. And if you want to be free, I can't be the one to make you believe: if you want to be free, be with me, but I can't make you, it's your choice. You've still got this promise to keep: if you choose me, stick with me. Step back and wash away the reckless intentions, they're leaving me breathless: stop making mindless choices because I can't keep up. Find a way to stay in your skin: find a way to stay self contained so you don't make any more mindless decisions.
