| I love this song. It's really simple and straight forward, but I'm still really intrigued by it. Brooding, isolated boy meets girl, loves girl, but doesn't let girl in, finally she gives him an ultimatum: if you want me you have to let me in, he lets her know she's worth "letting in" through this. cuteee | |

| Like most of Lifehouse's work, this has to do with life...it's basically a guy [persona] hoping for a second chance...and he basically blew it....but he wrote this song. | |

| Yeah, the song is pretty self explanatory, and simple, but deep and soo heartfelt at the same time. The rawness of Jason's voice during the chorus just hits you so much harder. My favorite on the track. | |

| It's about this relationship where the guy probably has a low self opinion of himself. The part of the lyrics where she says "You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me" pretty much sums up the guy's situation. Now she has broken up with him and he wants to change and will do whatever it takes to make that change so they can stay together again. Jason sings this with lots of passion and sincerity which make me think that this guy who's done wrong is genuine with his plea for help and change. I hope there's a part two to this song which can tell whether this guy can change and clean up his act. | |

| I'm surprised by the lyrics of this song. Unlike the other Lifehouse songs, this has simpler to understand lyrics. But whats more surprising is that the song still hits the listener. By far, I think that this is the best song in their newest album. | |
