The lyrics aren't a conversation, they're isolated thoughts from two different people in the same relationship who just happen to be thinking of the same thing. Meanwhile, 'Alex' is completely aware of it and is trying to do better to mend the relationship through his actions. An old(ish) song, I know, but I've always loved it and can relate to it now more than ever, and I just want to share my thoughts on it.Įssentially, I view the lyrics just as is: the girl (Sierra) is emotionally hurt by something the boy (Alex) did, but chooses to conceal it because she's afraid of conflict, thinking it would ruin the relationship.
