This song reminds me of my mum
When i was 15 I was in hospital for a burst appendix in which i tech died 3 times and my mum was at my bedside everyday. so i always strived to find a way to 'pay her back'. when my mum and dad got divorced me and my mum would argue so many times and i was so angry all the time i couldnt control it so my girlfreind(who lived with me) asked me if we could move out to save our relationship. without tellin my mum we looked for a flat and we found one that was far from home and it was just 'NO SUPRISE' i didnt see her the next day
I would just like to thank daughtry for writing and perfroming the song me and my fiancee(girlfreind from story) will be having our 1st dance to at our wedding 'LIFE AFTER YOU'....

It's not just this song, but it's every track. It resonates with me more for the fact that it's saying you have to do this because it's not right anymore. So many of us stay in situations out of fear, or hope that things will get better and we always forget ourselves. The message for me is honoring that relationship you have with yourself and yes, it is hard to end relationships but you have to in order to have that relationship with yourself.
On a different note, every time I hear a Daughtry song, I feel that much more positive, that much more empowered. You could leave work feeling a little deflated, put that tune on and then you can feel your head bopping up and down and you listen to the words and by the time you get home, you're strutting like John Travolta and the day feels so much more lighter.....
I love you, Daughtry!
Great meaning.

Sarah I think everyone can identify in some way with this song.. Even if your too young to have experienced a big loving relationship [as I am], it could be a relationship you have with a friend or family member. Sometimes you know you have to make some kind of break to make things better, and we've all been there, practicing the best way to tell someone something big. I have been there a few times, so yeah that's what it means to me. Saw the video last week at my friends screamed extremel loudly! :L Ily Daughtry xox

Totally relevant to my life..
To me it means admitting to yourself that the relationship you're in isn't working and hasn't been for a while. It means having the courage to walk away even though you know it will hurt at first but also knowing that it is the best thing to do. I had to do this recently and it did suck but I think it was the right decision for me to make and the song helped me realise this

the end of a relationship...
this song means so much to me....
i was in a relationship with my ex boyfriend for 3 years, he was a very loving man then almost two years into it he began to be violent towards me, i put it down to the stresses in his worklife and i took all the crap for a long time.... i hid things from family and friends and then finally realised that i shouldn't have to put up with that from anyone let alone someone i love!!!
he was so nasty to me but deep down i was still very much in love with him.
i finally managed to get the courage to end it... i walked away and have never looked back... i feel such a strong person now and this song reminds me of that day.
