An excerpt from a now deleted blog post from Juliana on her official site in 2008:
I really cannot remember who I was directing my sort of muted anger in this song toward — can’t remember who the “you” is. When I sing “Please forgive me for finding something real and pure and true” and “I’m sorry that I must go so soon,” I’m not actually sorry. I’m being sarcastic. Someone is giving me a hard time for trying to grab onto some happiness; to something that might be really good and joyful like love or a connection with someone — a new someone. The skeptic is withholding his/her blessing, and I’m irritated by his/her unwillingness to let me explore and pursue my destiny and to make my own potential mistakes.
