The way that Jewel sings this song is astonishing. She certainly doesnt feel like she deserves to be in a relationship with this man. She talks about him like he is an older man, maybe a missing father figure she always wanted. She recognizes that there are problems in the relationship, but she cant stand the thought of actually letting him and the relationship go. The woman the song is about is infatuated with this man, she puts him on this pedestal of importance. But I now think its about the continuation of a bitter sweet relationship, which can be far worse. I used to believe it was about an ending to a bitter sweet relationship. ![]() But after becoming an adult, and really listening to the lyrics for what they are, I get a completely different feel for this song. I always tie this song back to that time in my life, it was hard for our entire family, as all divorces are.

You're tearing me, you're tearing me apartĪnd you took your coat off, stood in the rain Think I've mistaken you for somebody else Somewhere along the line, I must have gone off track with you Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean Things that were daring, things that were clean You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee You stood in my doorway, with nothing to sayĪnd these foolish games are tearing me apartĪnd your thoughtless words are breaking my heart ![]() You took your coat off, stood in the rainĪlways felt I was outside looking in on you
