This song is about a heartbroken man who's lover has left him. "I'm jealous of the rain that falls upon your skin." He describes his jealousy towards what is able to touch or be around his lover. How these things are closer to her than he is or ever was. "I wished you the best that all this world could give. And I told you when you left me that there's nothing to forgive." He's wishing her the best and saying that he doesn't need to forgive her for leaving him. "As I sink in the sand, watch you slip through my hands. Oh, as I die here another day cause all I do is cry behind this smile." Everything about her is slipping away from him. He feels as if he is dying because he still loves her. "But I'd always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery. It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me." This man is jealous because his lover is doing just fine without him while inside he's still breaking.
