Okay, this is my favorite song off the new album so I had to tab it right away, fairly straightforward
with lots of really raw palm muting.

I think someones depressed and feeling really lonely. And they think they are the only ones to hurt in this world. But the song is saying that everone fears something, everyone has things that they keep to themselves. People are afraid of admiiting that they hurt sometimes!

I believe this song is about confidence and how even the most ego-tistical person questions themselves. Most people question themselves, others, religion for one reason or another. I also think in part of it Chad's stating the fact that most people have more than they admit so shut the f*ck up and be happy with what you have instead of what you want.

First of all I love Nickelback! I believe the song is about someone who is unsure if there is a God like ads82 mentioned. I also believe this song is trying to state that we all ask ourselves these questions at one time or another.
