Jewel was huge when I split from my husband. I was just getting to know Idiot #2. Something told me that the song would end up describing him, and it did. I wished I'd listened to my sixth sense.
You'd teach me of honest things Things that were daring, things that were clean Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean I hid my soiled hands behind my back Somewhere along the line, I must've gone off track with you Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself

I related to this song a lot after my breakups
I waited for you I died inside my own head And I'd die again for you
I'm faded and tired Completely uninspired And I'd die again for you
So kill me with the love that you won't give to me And pack the wound with salt I want to feel it bleed
I'm searching for reasons To keep away the demons And I'd die again for you I wish you were near me Could feel it when you hear me say I'd die again for you
So kill me with the love that you won't give to me And pack the wound with salt I want to feel it bleed You wanted me to crawl so now I'm on my knees
Why's it always have to be me That's always left out to burn and I'll never learn

^ That’s fantastic! I’ll add it to my list of songs when I’m in an angsty mood or want to be in an angsty mood. I’m serious about that. I tend to turn my feelings inward and music seems to help with that.

If only there could be another way to do this 'Cause it feels like murder to put your heart through this I know I always said that I could never hurt you Well, this is the very, very last time I'm ever going to
