| I really agree with Themuse97. the whole split personality doesn't sound like matt's style, quite frankly. and what howz_q said makes no sense really either. If he is trying to make himself believe he isn't in love, why would he be saying "why can't you just love her?" or "you bully from a distance"? he wants his dad to love his mom. that's what makes the most sense. | |

| It has to be a split personality - or maybe a really close relation like a brother | |

| wen i first herd it i thought it was about being in a really bad and violent relationship, and it alternates voices between the person being abused or whatever and an onlooker. so the girl or whatever says shes unlovable, and then the onlooker says why cant u just love her (i love that line). well maybe not, but thats what i thought when i first herd it. | |

| to me, this song is about someone who is in love with someone who doesnt love them back, and is trying to make themselves believe that they arent in love... | |

| I don't know too much about Matt's backround but this song is so emotional.. It's my favourite on that album! But after reading isleptwithgod's entry and re-reading the lyrics.. i can understand that opinion! | |

| if it has something to do with his dad then why there're lines that speak: You're uncontrollable.. And we are unlovable.. ??? I kind of agree with the split personality thingy.. | |
