Hi! Sorry for the awfully late reply!
That totally makes sense to me. At first, it was just a love song, and then, I kept listening to it, and somehow, it holds so much significance in so many other ways, to other people. I understand what you mean when you say "Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive". I'm not a cutter, although, I understand why one would feel that way.
That's a very interesting take on the song, but especially first lines of the chorus. Actually, a little bit of it came to mind, when he made me listen to it. It seemed more like, no one seemed to understand the crap he had been through, that's why I hide, types. And it really hit me hard, when it's so personal, and he played it for me, because it was his emotions all down to this song. I'm glad you shared. It's given me a lot to think about.
And hey, if you ever need to talk, I'm here for you. I may not understand right away, but I will get there as I ponder over it. There was a time when people never took me seriously or understood my perspective, and I'd hate that to continue. So if there's ever anything, please feel free to share!
