Ooh, you're searching for something I know, won't make you happy
Ooh, you're thirsting for something I know, won't make you happy
Ooh, you did it all again, you broke another skin
It's hard to believe this time, hard to believe
That my heart, my hearts an open door...
You got all you came for, baby
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your prides worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
Its terrifying, life, through the darkness
And Id do it all again, Id do it all again
Id' do it all again, I'd do it all again
You try sometimes but it wont stop
You got my heart and my heads lost, ooh yeah
I've been burning down these candles for love, for love
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride
Ooh, someone to love, mm, someone to love
Someone to love
Ooh, youre searching for something I know, wont make you happy
Ooh

    At first I did not understand why she says "you're looking for something I know, won't make you happy" since the song is about love. When I think of love and searching for it, I do believe that it is something that will make me happy. Corinne understands that there will inevitably be pain and hurt in relationships which I why the song says what you're looking for what won't make you happy. But at the same time, it was worth it.

    Her husband died of a drug overdose. I think that's what she was referring to in the song. "You broke another skin"*hint hint*.

    This actually makes a lot of sense.

    I agree that the song is about her husband, but i believe she's referring to herself in that line. "you broke another skin...its hard to believe my hearts an open door." Perhaps she is saying you broke a wall i had up and now im open to love. The skin being the wall.

    I love this song. I downloaded it onto my iPod that night! (forgot to sync it :()

    I let my husband listen to it last night before we went to bed and he was asking me what it was about. I was like uh....I've only heard it once. I was trying to think of what was said in this thread. lol.
