This is probably the second song I heard from Avril when her first album came out. The meaning for this song, well everyone is different, I always write that down when I'm posting a meaning for a song. Well Don't go changing for someone else, don't change the way you look or how you act just to look cool in front of a bunch of people you don't know, you make yourself look pretty stupid when it comes to changing yourself when you were perfect the way you were the whole time.

Taylor swift is in love with this guy who only thinks of her as his best friend. She likes him a lot; actually she's in love with him but he doesn't even notice one bit. She cares for him so much she wants him to be happy, so she acts like she doesn't care that he's going out with a girl he keeps talking about, "I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about.". "I fake a smile so he won't see." She's holding everything back, all her feelings for him so he would be happy. "And she's got everything that I have to live without." She wishes she could be in her shoes being with her best friend. The meaning / message of this song, loving someone is hard, when you see them happy, you have to learn to back off. You have to think of others sometimes.
