put you in a song

when i first listened to the lyrics of the following song, i thought, "wait, that doesn't make sense." 

case in point:
"i don't love you but i always will."
(wait, you've just contradicted yourself, right?)

but then i thought again and realized ... i so know exactly how that feels. it makes perfect sense because it doesn't make sense ... which describes a lot about post-breakup emotions, actually. that uncanny ability the heart has to keep a firm grip on a feeling that or may not be the best thing.

i find everything about this song and video absolutely mesmerizing.




"i don't love you ... but i always will."

(you've been there too, haven't you?)

p.s.
it's also #180 on my playlist. in case you have something against music videos.
