This one is a little hard for me to talk about, so bear with me.
I guess you could call this my "favorite" breakup song, in that I find it most listenable and the lyrics most relatable. It's probably because of that that it's still one of the hardest to listen to. How ironic.
This is not like every breakup I've been through, but I have been through this. James hits the nail on the head in regards to the phone call, how you can kinda see it coming a little bit, but that doesn't help. You're devastated, but life keeps going on around you ("the coffee isn't even bitter," "the worst is all the lovely weather"). He'll get through it eventually, ("it keeps coming, 'til the day it stops"), but really, he's not taking this well, to say the least.
In short, this song was written with me in mind.
I wish that we could talk about it, but there: that's the problem.
