When the narrator says that ‘it’s a blessing in disguise’, he reflects on the idea that it may be good for him to acknowledge that person 2 no longer wants him even though he gave them everything. He insists that he is still just as in love with them as he was from the start (“falling just as hard”) before claiming that he doesn’t intend on using person for his own benefit, meaning that he believes he truly cares about them. In the chorus, the narrator acknowledges his obsession with recreating happier times with person 2. Here, the narrator starts to say that he senses that the relationship he had with person 2 was too good to be true from the beginning (being “too close to the stars”). The narrator also further expresses his sickening desperation for person 2 by shamelessly asking for the next time he’ll see them. When the narrator asks if person 2 knows when their coming back, he implies that he knows that they are making the conscious decision to continually leave him hanging. He thinks that person 2 feels obligated to respond to the narrator, only because they feel bad, which goes along with the idea that their indifference to him is caused by waning interest. He wishes that person 2 wanted him and would genuinely give their own heart to him, instead of it being a “chore”. He says he had put his whole heart out for person 2, but they never took it. With this stanza, we can read the attitude of the narrator, which to be of one that wants things to go back to how they were before: raw and full of passion. Something of this nature is hinted later in the song. It is possible that the narrator has committed some irrevocable injustice against person 2 in the past, so they purposely distances themself to avoid getting hurt. It can also mean that person 2 no longer sees him because of lack of interest or they want to avoid him. This can mean that even when they see each other every day, it’s not the same as it used to be because person 2 simply isn’t themself. I’ll refer to the person (lover/ex lover) that the narrator is singing to as ‘person 2’.Ĭlearly, we can see that the narrator mourns person 2’s emotional or even physical distance from him. I see myself in you, maybe you should tooĮssentially, this song is about one sided love that stems from things outside of actual love. Uh, I see myself in you, I see myself in you, baby I see my reflection in your eyes (I sold my soul for you, I know you see it too) Yeah, every time that we realized it's crazy Lighting up the night, wasn't always right, baby (mm-hmm) You and I were bright, shooting through the sky daily (yeah) I see my reflection in your eyes (tell me you see it too) Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you) I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
