maybe more specifically breaking sobriety, and then making a new years resolution to keep it, The driving message behind the song is a hopeful, uplifting, belief in the future,...

I think this song is actually about a failed attempt at trying to stop drinking. I mean, these lyrics are what it feels like after a while of sobriety and then starting to drink again.

Wow, first comment in like 3 and a half years,... Treestump, I can't help but see the Irony of your double comment expressing a wish for the song to have more comments,... I love the organ that breaks out in the middle of the song,... it kinda takes away from the despair, but adds to the emotion of the song,... truly a classic

"All that's gone before you've changed" Definitely about a relationship...a relationship that could have flourished...but promises were broken, people changed and things didn't work out. But there's always hope for the future...hope for getting over the loss. "Something good has gone and left you, It's another tear one can't deny" That's beautifully true.

One of the best songs about the despair at a failing relationship.
