Otherwise you'll probably think it's another angry unrequited love song. I couldn't feel a thing A calm had come over me I wanted to take half the blame So we could go down together But the light was saying all the things that were wrong with me I had to figure out the kind of person that I wanted to be... And I guess that's why I asked you here today To let you know things were gonna change To disguise my intentions as benign To convince you I lost my appetite Until you realized... You look so pretty in the dark And so strong in the day Which helped me figure out a time To bring you down with me But the ghosts were whispering things I couldn't be I had to figure out the person that I wanted to be... And I guess that's why I asked you here tonight To tell you everything's gonna be alright To disguise my intentions as benign To try and remove you from the light Until you realized... (interlude) So I guess that's why I asked you here today To let you know things were gonna change To disguise my intentions as benign To steal your heart and make it mine Until I realized... That wasn't the kind of person that I wanted to be.

EDIT: wow, i just found the reference, and it's made the whole piece a lot more confusing... there's certain bits where i'm not sure if you're adressing this to the same person/being/whatever, and i must say i'm finding it kinda hard to figure out who exactly "you" is. ah well, i'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me in that aspect.

It's about two people who were formerly in a relationship. The "narrator" ("I") is still in love with the other person, but they don't know that. The "you" throughout the song refers to the other person.
