Sad Song

My guess is that this song was written about someone that broke her heart and she wrote it when she was suffering from it. However, I interpret it in a way that reflects my life. Whenever I hear this song, I think of my old best friend, who one day suddenly stopped talking to me, and now ignores me.

Today, I'm gonna write a sad song Gonna make it really long So that everyone can see That I'm very unhappy - Well, this part is obvious. The person is sad, so they're going to write a sad song. I think of this as me because I often write poems and songs when I feeling sad.

I wish I wasn't always wrong I wish it wasn't always my fault The finger that you're pointing Has knocked me on my knees And all you need to know is - We all feel like this sometimes. When we are sad/depressed, we tend to feel like the world is turning against us and everyone hates us. When I see this, I think of the events leading up to my friend suddenly ditching me. She was beginning to blame me for things I never even meant to do or things i never did at all, and whenever I would try to give her advice on something she would get mad and say I didn't understand anything.

I'm so sorry, it's not like me It's maturity that I'm lacking So don't, don't let me go Just let me know that growing up goes slow - Christina is probably referring to something that she might have believe she had done wrong that caused the breakup. I think of this as me countlessly saying sorry for the things she blamed me for, even though half the time I didn't know what I did, and just trying to make things better. She would also always tell me that I wasn't mature enough to understand her and to grow up.

I wonder what my mom and dad would say If I told them that I cry each day It's hard enough to live so far away - Well, Chrstina is probably saying that she cries every day because of her broken heart and that her parents aren't there to help her because she lives so far away. I think of this as my mom and dad not knowing that I'm depressed, or that I cry myself to sleep almost every night. This isn't really because of the friend, but its definitely an aspect.

I wish it wasn't always cold I wish I wasn't always alone - When your depressed, you feel alone. You feel something stabbing you in the heart and you always feel cold.

When the party is over, How will I get home? And all you need to know is - I think of this as another way of saying that you are alone without the person.

If all the rules are meant to bend And you swore you were my friend Now I have to start all over again Cause no one's going to take your place - I thought this person was my best friend. We had done everything together since the 5th grade. Then when she dropped our friendship I had to find someone I trusted and got along with as much as her, and even when I did, it still left a gap. I still miss her.

And I'm scared I'll never save All the pieces of the love we made - Wellll obviously I cannot connect this to me and my friend :P But Christina was probably saying that she'll never forget being in love with the person and she'll never find anyone who can take their place.

But I'm so sorry, it's not like me It's maturity that I'm lacking So don't, don't let me go Just let me know That I can slip and fall And you won't let me go Just let me know that growing up goes slow - I trusted my friend to always be there when i was down. Now I would give anything for her to tell me that she was sorry and that she would help me now and not let go of our friendship again.

Anyways. This was just my interpretation. I put a little of what I thought Christina Perri meant by it, but most of it is what I think of when I hear it. SO NO RUDE COMMENTS TELLING ME THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS ABOUT!!! :P
