Linkin Park - She Couldn't Lyrics Meaning

Actually, the song is about Chester's break up with his first love, and the one "who got away" - a girl who goes by "R". They met when they were around 9, and shared a horrible bond. The same guy abused both of them. She was the only one who truly ever knew everything Chester went through because she lived it with him. They broke up because of messed up situations, and when she "went away", it was her going to rehab. The sun shining on her was when she got sober. They reconnected over the years, and stayed in touch every day until his death. He was with her the night before he died, saying goodbye. They shared a pretty profound bond.

Signed,
Another childhood friend of Chester and R
