Tonic's "If You Could Only See" ? Help!

[Tappedout9]

Hey everyone, I was listening to this song ("If you could only see" by tonic)
and i was wondering who this guy was talking to? like, is he talking to his
friend? is he talking to him girlfriend about another girl? is he just talking
to someone who doesnt understand him and his girlfriend's love? if someone
could please help me figure out who's he's talking to? please??!! :) here's the
lyrics...

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Yep, the last one's correct. I once read in an interview that the song
was addressed to his mother.

I think maybe he is talking to someone that disapproves of his relationship
with his girlfriend. Maybe his parents because he talks of them giving their
love but not really giving love. It's a great song :-)

Just a thought
