A song about when you fall for the wrong person. You can't tell in the beginning because the initial attraction blinds you but as you're with them longer, their real personality is revealed to you and you ask yourself how you could ever fall for someone like that.
This song's about unintentionally hurting someone you really care about and truly regretting it. This person has always been by your side whenever you needed them but you took them for granted and ended up hurting them, and driving a wedge between your relationship. This song expresses the regret and sincere apology that you hope to convey to that other person.
A song written about someone who has a close friend who struggles with depression. They had some good times together but he begins to grow more and more distant as he becomes entrapped in the grips of depression. He starts to lose himself in the darkness but she tries to encourage him and be there for him in hopes that he'll get better and that they can preserve their precious friendship.
This song is melancholic and ballad-like styled. It speaks from a broken heart's perspective to a boy who aspires to join the military as his future career. They are in their last year of highschool before they graduate and after a recent holiday break, she comes back to school only to notice that he treats her differently than before. They were once really close and had developed feelings for one another, but now he intentionally avoids and ignores her without ever telling her why. They don't talk anymore and she is churning with turmoil because her heart's still attached and she's trying to figure out what's happening while trying to handle the immense amount of pain the situation is causing her.
This song is intended to be a sad love song about a missed love. The perspective of the story goes like this: Two people have feelings for one another but one of them wasn't ready to commit to a serious relationship. So the other one was stuck in the friend zone during all this time and constantly wonders what they could've been if they had gotten to be together.
