Story behind the song
*WARNING*
If you would rather enjoy this piece of art and have it come to mean something truly unique to you, do not read the backstory. Just as the band “Aerosmith” once criticized the music video industry of robbing fans from having their own visions of imagery associated to a song and supplanting it with some “official” footage, so too can knowing a songs backstory potentially come to rob it of having some special place and meaning for you.
Or both can exist. It’s all really subjective. Proceed with understanding.
Thank you,

The Official Backstory
This is the response written to the song called "The Song".
Breaking up is never easy, especially when you are young and it was your first true love. You can feel like you will never eve possibly recover.
With modern science we now know a massive component to this is biochemical and what we are feeling is largely withdrawl symptoms from a former drug addiction, wherein your ex is said drug addiction.
That is splendid to say, and I don't really personally subscribe into that 100% on principal, but the physics component of it seems sound.
I guess that is why this also makes me think of Tim Minchin's song "You Grew On Me"

If I was dead
Would you take back anything that you've said
To me
Would you even care
If forever more I was not there
To see
Is that what it would take to set me free from you
I wish I was dead
Just to dream of all the sweet moments
We once had
The feel of you in my arms
Your scent, the warmth in your kiss
I've never felt so complete
Divine years I so miss
Haunt my head
Now you wouldn't even cry for me if I was dead
I can't believe it's so bad
After everything we had
I can't look
Ahead
I guess you'll never see
How losing you was also losing me
I am dead!
Why has my love forsaken me?
