I completely agree with you. I think Bon Iver's lyrics in this song really capture the confusion and hurt he's feeling about this lost relationship. In the 2nd verse he talks about how he's prepared to cut off all ties with this woman, and start a fresh, to then say in the next breath that 'this orders tall', obviously having doubts. This is someone who he is completely inlove with, but just find any common ground with. He wants to let go but just can't. I think in the chorus he's angry, he obviously wanted things to work, he told her to be kind, patient etc. She obviously carried on being volatile and he's angry she didn't change her ways because slowly the relationship is slipping away. This song is really moving and Bon Iver's lyrics are clever with many hidden meanings and connotations. Beautiful song.
