Hence, why I believe he's a compassionate person who badly wants to help the person he cares about, but just doesn't have the balls/thinks he's good enough lmao. He thinks he should just not bother, but he stops himself, and convinces himself that maybe one day in the future he'll finally bring himself to try for real (again), and to remind her that out of everyone, he wants to her to know that he is aware and cares about her suffering ("Just remember I know.")Īlso, from the way he sings, it doesn't seem resentful or bitter, but very sweet and sincere.
He still entertains the idea of trying to be there for her ("Am I the one to try to stop the fire?")Īgain, he gives up, because he thinks he's not good enough for her and that someone else would give her what she really needs. The next year rolls around, and he's aware that it's getting late in the game and she's still plagued with loneliness that's eating her up. He understands, now, that this girl is horribly lonely and he wants to fill that gap in her life because he loves her, but he flakes out because he doesn't think he's capable of doing that for her. He's going to finally approach her, he's finally reached that point of courage, and he's hopeful and ready. And then, "a few weeks" later rolls around. Initial feelings about asking the girl out! He doubts himself, but he's plucking up the courage and he wants to do it.

And I can take it if it's what I want to doĪnd I am leaving and this is starting to feel like
