Lead singer songwriter Isaac Slade's experience at a camp for troubled teens was a major influence for this song. It’s about supporting someone through their problems rather than just telling them to quit their behavior. This song like many others is completely open to interpretation. It can fit a whole list of things from suicide to drug abuse.

I suspect this song is really about an abortion!

ok chica who said it is about abortion. you need to go see a doctor to cure your stupid disease because you have it beyond bad. where in the hell do you see something that says it might be about abortion? either your ears or you brain is screwed up because there is nothing in there.

It's about watching someone you love struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction making bad choices while you make healthy ones and not knowing what to do about it specifically because of the addicts denial. Did you listen to the song? It's pretty literal.

I really don't think it matters what the "meaning" is. Music is written to touch and effect the listener in some way. To me..it reminds me of both my brothers who committed suicide in 1999 and 2000. Had I only known how to save a life! The song gets to me every time!
