"Don't You Want Me?" by the Human League

This is about how a boy has lost a girl even though he's done so much for her and he knows he could change how good her life is. He wants her back, but she says she needs time off and to be independent even though they have had good times together. The difference in the two sides of the story are that he sees is that she couldn't have become so successful without him and he turned her life around, while she sees it that she would have gotten better with or without him and she needs to live her own life. I side with the guy because they had such good times together, so I see no point in trying to throw that away. If he helped her and they had a good relationship, then why end it?
