Foo Fighters - Best of You Lyrics Meaning

I'm german, so I can only interpret what it would mean in german :)

Right now, I am deep in love with a girl. I confessed already, but sadly she loves someone else (she recently got rejected herself, though). This is where 'Best of You' starts for myself.

Everytime I see her, I fall in love with her, over and over again. I guess, I've got another confession to make, since I'm her fool. I can not just hold (hug) her, I have to break a chain first, I have to make her love me.
She gave me something I didn't have, some kind of warmth and hope, the desire to be with her. My heart is under arrest. I'm in her noose again, yet without her noose. Without her, I have no use for these things. She has broken my heart it's painful, and I die to heal. She is my cure. I do not want to start somewhere else anew, I'm getting tired of it.

This makes me do my utmost. Basically she is getting the best out of me.

For me, he sings about my situation and this inner conflict. I love her, and I want to be with her, but I also have to respect that she does not want me. I have to choose, but I have no choice. So I can not choose, I refuse to. My head is giving me life or death, my mind is abusing me.

You know, I feel her breath and body warmth, I smell her odour, I see her heartbeat, day by day. We are as close as two people possibly can be, but I still can't put my arm around her. That hurts. Alot.
