I won´t talk about the story behing the song, but I´ll talk about the feelings and what the lyrics means to us/me and how up to the number1.
THE FEELING THAT THE SONG GIVE YOU
The song makes you feel like you have a heartbreak, the feelings that this give you are so clears, you want to cry or scream, you want to show what you are feeling.
The song makes you live what “Olivia” is feeling, the hurt of see that person with other one, that makes you feel so small beside her/him, the way that the person that means a lot for you just left you, and you only have memories, pictures and maybe stuff that remembers you that person.
You feel powerless, you can´t do anything to get that person back, you only know that you can´t love anyone like you love her/him, you feel fool because him/her is so good but with other one, and you didnt be the enough to make that person the happiest .
The people around you are tired because you can stop talking about that person, but your feelings still there, and you think that you never let that person go, but you must.
The message is so clear, you still loving her/him but your love is not enough and you can´t do anything more than look forward and let him/her go.
The name of the song its the most sad, the first time I heard the song I thought that the name didn´t make sense but it´s a thing that they talked about a lot, but when she got it him/her wasn´t beside her to celebrate with her.
I think that the new person always makeS you feel small, because you can´t see the way that you shine, you feel bad and you can only imagine how him/her is so happy beside that person and how perfect him/her is. the people are used to compare theirself with the new person.
The rythm is so cool, first go slow and sad later start a most rapidly with snaps and claps, later back to the same rythm that the start but more slow and sad, that make you live most exactly the emotions and make you want to scream while your singing the song.
I think that the reason why the song is number one is because, even you didnt have a hertbreak never, you can feel exactly like you are into one, the song transmit feelings that make you have a heart rush.
I think that the people that had a hearbreak or are into one, can identify a lot with the song and cry while they are living the song.
IM SO GRATEFUL WITH OLIVIA TO GIVE US THAT HIT THAT BREAK HEARTS, MAKES YOU CRY AND IT´S JUST PERFECT!
