I believe the song can be about anything you love - people, places, things. Most of all they bow out gracefully after enjoying the fight, the battle and the challenge. They do not linger and they do not make excuses. The great ones know when their time is done. I've grown to understand the ending of things. Maybe that isn't the case as much as we are going to be missing them. With that thought in mind, you might say that the song doesn't relate because the person leaving this life is going to miss us when they are gone. Someone very dear to my wife is losing a battle with cancer. The line, 'though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on. ' says it all in that version.Ī few months later I thought maybe someone knowing he or she would die and the effect it would have on others around them was the meaning. The line, 'after all we've been through it's the least that I can do. I first believed the song to be about a friendly breakup. The next year you listen again and it is all so different. One day you listen and you are given the meaning so clear. Often times a true artist will give you a thousand ways to go with a song as simple and straight forward as this.
There is a subtle beauty here that I can't truly understand.
