Even though the song may not be about relationships (I've heard about it being about the drugs and such...) it makes me think of exactly how I felt for a long time about my friend Billy... things just got so messed up, it was painful. The lines, "From the way that you acted//To the way that I felt it//it wasn't worth my time//And now it's sad//Cause all I missed wasn't that good to begin with" and "it's all i've got just to stay down//then why the fuck am i still down?" make me think of the situation especially, because all of what I put myself through wasn't worth it to begin with, and yet, I was constantly down about it.

it took me many listens before i finally realized it, around 2:30 in the song, near the end of the breakdown. :and i dont even miss you at all" there is a very subtle scream, turn your speakers up all the way at this point and you will hear this awesome awesome scream, and in these two words you will get teh message of the song, its so great because of the subtleness, when i first heard it, i rewinded and listened to it at least 10 times. pure genius.

yea i always thought it was about drugs, but the fact the beginning it sounds like his talking about a person, not a substance, but maybe the person that got him to start drugs somewhat ruined his life...and then the end he says that his about to see a million things he thought hed never see before and so on...and that he doesn't miss or need drugs now....cause his actually happy with how things are going, and he doesn't feel down like he use to...and that doing drugs wasnt helping him either...it sounds like he did (maybe still does once in awhle) heroin, crack...but who knows what kinda dope him talkin about

hmm i believe that it could be either one... drugs or a relationship.. the words make sense both ways.. i guess it is pretty much in the eyes of the beholder and what the song means to each one of us, it may be different.. but all in all this is definitely my favorite song by The Used!!!! they are awesome!!!

This song really relates to my situation with my ex- from the way that you acted to the way that i felt it it wasn't worth my time and now it's sad cause all i missed wasn't that good to begin with now i've started you begging and saying things you don't mean.. Getting over it.. REalzing that all you missed wasn't so good and you can find better things in your life
