| Lol James Dean was the epitome of a perfect guy for years, he became an icon because of the fact that he died at 24, at the peak of his career, after filming Rebel Without a Cause. Irony is, James Dean wasn't a real macho man. Sure, he liked the ladies, but he also liked the guys ;) | |

| Everybody here's wrong. Hilary said in an interview herself that when talking about James Dean, she's referring to Joel Madden just before they were a couple... when she was bittersweet about him and wasn't too sure. | |

| I've only heard a short clip of this song, and although I'm not exactly a fan of Hilary's I like her new album and I like what I've heard of this song, as well. | |

| James Dean was the good looking, rich, famous etc guy when Marilyn Monroe was around.. This is an alright song. It basically means like.. there's a guy trying to be really funny, make himself look good etc just like James Dean was but there will never be another James Dean so the guy should stop trying. | |

| hmm well all you people who dont like hilary duff, please tell someone who cares, this is a place where you post what you think the song meaning is not weather or not you like the artist..if you dont like her so much why are you on here lyric site? do something more valuable with your time instead of making fun of hilary duff. go read a book or something OKAY- well i do love this song it seems like its about her breaking up with a person who is not fully honest with her "All the faces you're making/save it for the scene/all the people you're faking" it seems like he plays a role around her like trys to be something hes not. seems like hes a bit cocky. | |
