| I love this song i so know what he feels like trying to tell his friends about God and it being so discouraging cause they just don't seem to listen... even though you know they think about what you said afterwards... | |

| I love this song! I am a Christian boy, and some of my friends just dont seem to listen when i tell them about God. They all think hes made up. One thinks hes a piece of crap. :( I feel sad for them and pray for them, but this song explains my feelings and i love to listen to it. I think the song is talking about somebody that has a friend, and tbe person is trying to teach the friend about God, but the friend wont listen, so the person is sad the friend wont seem to listen. | |

| first comment! w00t! anywho, seems to me that this song's about Matt and him trying to witness to someone and tell them about God, but they don't really want to hear it... and they act like they don't really care, but they can't completely just forget everything he's saying. "you've tried to ignore the things i say, but in the end you found you never could" | |
