Delving into the realm of unrequited love and heartache, this track paints a vivid picture of longing and despair. The lyrics suggest a deep affection for a woman who remains emotionally distant, causing a profound sense of pain. The repeated line "everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain" serves as a universal truth about love's often cruel nature. The protagonist seems to be in a state of constant yearning for this woman's attention and approval, which he only sporadically receives. Despite his suffering, he remains fixated on her - she is 'the only one he knows'. This song is an exploration of the tormenting yet addictive cycle of loving someone who may not reciprocate those feelings in the same way.
