Now that I know what it's like to fall freely
..... He felt that drop in the pit of his stomach when his girl cheated on him.
I can taste blood for the ones who I envy
... he'd kill to be in the position of someone who wasn't hurt as badly
Trying to make it right, they won't catch me
... he doesn't want to make nice
Now that I know, just watch what I will do
... gonna dump tha biotch!

Watch me break
... heart break
Watch me gently breaking both our hearts
... kills her with kindness in the break up ...
Watch me gently breaking
... "you're so sweet and wonderful, it's just me. Really."
Watch me gently breaking our hearts
.. he's only saying that to make her feel like shit for cheating on him.
... but it hurts him to act like she didn't hurt him.

Now that I've sealed the deal
... he broke up with her
I don't know how to feel
... it was bitter sweet
Now that I know that it's for real
... saddened/shocked that he went through with it
Just how am I supposed to feel
... lost in his emotions ... happy for the freedom or sad for the loss?

What do you do when your mind won't reconcile
... second thoughts!
With the thing your heart wants it to part by a mile
...His heart said to try to make things work .. but he knew it would never happen.
Trying to make them right like a sonnet
.. trying to make his heart and mind work together
... like the elements that make sonnets so harmonious.
Neither one will give in so on down you plummet
.. he can't figure out how to find his inner peace about it
... so he dives down to the depths of despair/depression.

Watch me fake
Watch me faking that I know just what to do
.. he doesn't really know how to handle the situation
...but he pretends he can handle it ..
Watch me plainly faking
Meanwhile I drive a stake in our hearts
.. doing that, he's just hurting himself and making her feel guilty
... by not being honest about his reasons for breaking up.

Now that I've sealed the deal
I don't know how to feel
Now that I know that it's for real
Just how am I supposed to feel

Now that I've sealed the deal
I don't know how to feel
Now that I know that it's for real
Just how am I supposed to feel




OR



Now that I know what it's like to fall freely
... he fell in love with another girl, but really adores the girl he is with.
I can taste blood for the ones who I envy
... he'd kill to be in the position of someone who isn't torn between two women
Trying to make it right, they won't catch me
... he knows it would be fruitless to save the first relationship
Now that I know, just watch what I will do
... so, he's just going to dump the first girl because he feels guilty and knows that it will never be the same again.

Watch me break
... heart break
Watch me gently breaking both our hearts
... She is heartbroken when he ends it and he's saddened b/c he really cared for her.
Watch me gently breaking
Watch me gently breaking our hearts

Now that I've sealed the deal
... he broke up with her
I don't know how to feel
... it was bitter sweet
Now that I know that it's for real
... saddened/shocked that he went through with it
Just how am I supposed to feel
... lost in his emotions ... happy because he ended something that would have ended even more terribly later or sad for the loss of a friend?

Neither one will give in so on down you plummet
.. he can't figure out how to find his inner peace about it
... so he dives down to the depths of despair/depression.

Watch me fake
Watch me faking that I know just what to do
... he doesn't know how to pretend that he has a good reason to dump her.
Watch me plainly faking
Meanwhile I drive a stake in our hearts
... doing that, he's just hurting himself and hurting her by not being clean about his reasons for breaking up.

Now that I've sealed the deal
I don't know how to feel
Now that I know that it's for real
Just how am I supposed to feel

u summed it up nicely...i can relate this song to a very similar situation i went thru

Since we don't know the story behind the song it's hard to pin point what it's about. to me, i think he's questioning his true love for a lady friend...kind of like he's unhappy w/ her for whatever reason (cheating maybe) but at the same time he can't be without her.

for example...your first love (my situation) ... it's always the hardest to get over. there are so many emotions involved that it confuses the fuck outa you...here's my interpretation

"]Now that I know what it's like to fall freely
knowing deep down he doesn't wanna be with this girl although he loves her, just not like he used to
I can taste blood for the ones who I envy
wants to be a person who truly is in love
Trying to make it right, they won't catch me
he's done making due cuz he knows it's not right anymore..."making due is a thing, a thing i will do no more" i'm sure yall know what song that's from
Now that I know, just watch what I will do
break up

Watch me break
... heart break
Watch me gently breaking both our hearts
it kills him but he knows what he has to do even though it's gonna kill her too
Watch me gently breaking
... "you're so sweet and wonderful, it's just me. Really."
Watch me gently breaking our hearts


Now that I've sealed the deal
... he broke up with her
I don't know how to feel
... it was bitter sweet
Now that I know that it's for real
... saddened/shocked that he went through with it
Just how am I supposed to feel
... lost in his emotions ... happy for the freedom or sad for the loss?

Neither one will give in so on down you plummet
.. he can't figure out how to find his inner peace about it
... so he dives down to the depths of despair/depression.

Watch me fake
he gives in and makes due even though he knows it's making him miserable and leading her on
Watch me faking that I know just what to do
.. he doesn't really know how to handle the situation
... so he makes due (i love usin that)
Watch me plainly faking
Meanwhile I drive a stake in our hearts
he's hurting himself and her

Now that I've sealed the deal
I don't know how to feel
Now that I know that it's for real
Just how am I supposed to feel

Now that I've sealed the deal
I don't know how to feel
Now that I know that it's for real
Just how am I supposed to feel

so to me i think the first part is him realizing that it needs to be over and the second part is when he gives in and tries to make things work even though he knows it'll prolly never work out and all he is doing is hurting himself and her

bottom line...LOVE IS CONFUSING

[FrixHex311]
