This song perfectly captures that wrong fit. The type of love where you want it to work, where the pieces look like they belong together, so you keep trying to force it, but the more you force it, the more it wears you down.
The first two lines of the chorus:
'You can never be strong,
You can only be free'
Sums up everything great about Robert Pollard's songwriting. Drama, hope and disappointment.
