  • Jaclyn from Buffalo, NyJesse has a tendency to be relatively upfront in his lyrics, using little metaphorical imagery. So, it is clear and obvious what the song is about. However, I might say that it is deeper than what it has been given credit to. I would argue that the lyric expresses remorse over a love that he has lost "I can't let him win now," being a phrase repeated in the chorus. "I shouldn't love you, but I want to." I believe that this may be that Jesse lost a love to another guy and that he isn't comfortable with the newly established relationship. So, I give this song a relatively high rating because it is a personable point of view; it conveys emotion that most people feel at one point in their lives.
  • Ashlynne from Candor, NcIn the song Jesse really likes a girl but he know that she will never feel for him the way he feels for her!
