| Yeah, I agree, its about the disentegration of a relationship. I don't think the lyrics are anything special, but the music is great, its all in the way they're sung... | |

| And it ends From a scream to a whisper Can you free me from these words and let me forget Can you free me from this world and help me forget thats my fav part...its fits the music well...both so descriptive and both paint a deeper visual meaning. | |

| I agree with the realtionship aspect. piece this together and it's always a fight this puzzles intact and you're always right (it's a puzzle to him that when they get together it's always a fight. now they're together fighting and she's always "right") The sky could fall the bliss of beginnning replaced with an ending the sky could fall it's always, it's always the same (The sky was the limit on their relationship and now it could come crashing down ending this relationship. What was so beatiful and had just started is just being replaced with an ugly ending. All the potential for them could be no more, and unfortunately, it's the same as all of his relationships have been. they all end.) and it ends from a scream to a whisper canyou free me from these words and help me forget can you free me from this world and help me forget (the relationship is over. from such loud and overflowing emotions to now next to nothing between them. can you help me forget these words that were said between us? can you free me from this world and all the hurt it brings to me and help me forget the past.) | |

| Im the first one to comment on this amazing song...im not sure what it is about but im going to try and give a guess at it, im probably going to be wrong but owell...ok.....about fighting in a relationship..."piece this togehter and its always a fight, this puzzles in tact and youre always right".....the puzzle being the relation ship, and the woman always being right, and if the sky could fall it would always be the same. "And it ends, from a scream to a whisper, can u free me from these words and let me forget....." i think that is the fight ending and jim being sorry for starting it becuase the woman is always right. "tensioning troubles" relationship tensioning "covered up lies"...maybe some lies in relationship. well thats basically what i get from this song, its absolutely amazing, gives u goosebumps...hear this song | |
