Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

I think this song is all about a relationship that is falling apart. The whole time he talks about how they just keep getting worse, and how their relationship used to be a lot better but it is dying. I think that it is so sad that people's love can die. I think the song is depressing. He says something like this isn't the storm before the calm. This makes me think that he isn't even trying to make it work. It makes me feel as though he has given up. Which I think many people do in relationships, even marriages. It should not be like that. I think that divorce is wrong in almost every situation, especially if they don't try to make it better. I know of people who have done both, try to make it work and those who don't try. And sometimes, it just doesn't work out. But this song, it makes me think that he doesn't even want to try to make it work. He has given up. When he says "we're slow dancing in a burning room" it makes me think that he knows it going to end but maybe they want to play it off that they are doing fine but really it going aweful, and they know it will end soon. John Mayer makes it sound like it is her fault, but we only see one side of the story, so we don't know fully what is going on. I don't think this song is bad, but I don't think that we should constantly be listening to sad music like this all the time.
I am so thankful that God does not give up on us. He is always there for us and will always want a relationship with us no matter what we do. All we have to do is seek to know Him better.
