My InterpretationI Interpretate This Song To Be Him Being Wrong About What He Thought Love Was. He Is Saying That Thought Love Couldn't Be This Painful.He Is Embrassed ('And if you're done with embarrassing me') Because He Thought He Knew Exactly What He Was Getting Into('Someone told me I should take Caution when it comes to love I did') But In The End Love Was Just What He Wish It Wasn't Going To Be.('Tell them what I hoped would be Impossible') And That He Is Not Ashamed Of His Mistake. ('Tell them all I know now Shout it from the roof tops Write it on the sky line All we had is gone now ') But The Pain And Hurt Is Still There.('Tell them I was happy And my heart is broken All my scars are open').
