| this is such a beautiful song by jewel, by far my favorite. let's break it down... I wipe the spots off of the mirror Don't leave the keys in the door Never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause the way i see it, it's as though this is how she is starting her new life after him. these were all the little things she did wrong, and now she's changing them. Dreams last so long Even after you're gone I know, that you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for you here, it's like she's still thinking of the moment he told her he loved her. she can't let go of it, and as much as she loves him, it's over, although she hopes something will appear again. Go about my business, I'm doing fine Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line Same old story, not much to say Hearts are broken every day Although she's been missing him so bad, theres nothing to speak of about the topic. She knows that the love will never happen again. | |

| Ahh...this song reminds me so much of when I was seperated from my now ex-husband...I wanted so badly to be with him, and I was alone all the time because he was in a different state. I was also numb because I was frightened about the state of the relationship...rightfully so, as it turned out. | |

| I think we can all agree that this is a break-up song right? And most people wouldn't really care about the lyrics unless they're in that situation and or almost getting over it. Thus, let me wallow in nostalgic recollections for a tiny bit: 'I break the yolks and make a smiley face' ~ We used to eat yolky eggs at the weirdest times (like 11pm), and we weren't allowed to use utensils. 'Saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'Cause it was happy and I was sad It made me miss you oh so bad' ~ Tough to think that a good, happy movie can make you miss the person even more. I think it's perfectly sensible though, esp. if you've shared only good times with that person and realize, he's not there for this one. 'I try and tell myself it'll be all right I just shouldn't think anymore tonight' - I guess when someone like her (me) is still at the very beginning of the break-up, your head knows you'll be just fine but your heart won't agree. And finally- the mots important lines: 'Dreams last so long Even after you're gone I know, that you love me' ~ Whether or not you'll ever get back together with the person, you know even when it's been many months, 2 years, etc. you'll still think about what you had. And when the person admits he/she still loves you, tha'ts the worse. But because of that, you still cling on... not making it apparent, but silently hoping. | |

| i love this song. its so simple & complex at the same time & i think its the perfect breakup song. its that time right after the breakup where you believe theres still hope or its long after you've been apart & you still want to believe that you were meant to be together & you're just waiting for them to come back to you. its sad but so good. | |

| Jewel is my all-time favourite artist. Her music always tells a story and this song is just so beautiful. You can hear the compassion in her voice when she sings. This song is one of my particular faves because it holds true. When my borfriend moved away, I went out in public expecting see him places that I always DID see him before. Even though I knew he wouldn't be there, I still hoped, just maybe, I would catch a glimpse. That's what this song reminds me of. | |

| The complete and utter emptiness you feel when the one you loved no longer loves you. And you can't seem to grasp why you're not with them. The feeling is so hollow and you don't know what to do with yourself. | |
