to me this song is so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I think this song is about a relationship that is so far past gone but the people in it dont want to let it go but they both know its best if they do. I have felt this before and it is a horrible feeling to know that however long you were in the relationship is now just gone and wasted. you try to figure out what went wrong and cant. I have been listening to this song non-stop for the past 3 days. I can seem to shake it. it makes me want to cry and smile at the same time. To me this song has lots of meaning. I am happily married now but there was a time in my life that i was wasting my time with the wrong man. i actually said/screamed the words to him of let it go and forget about me then walked out the door to never look back no matter how much he begged me to come back. I dont know that i said all this correctly but you get it lol
