But for me, I'd say this song is about the awkwardness and complexities of love, yet also something like a phase.
And yes, the song's situation DOES look like a tragedy. It might be, but it's a tragedy for one category of your brain. If brought as a whole, it's a memory. Remember, it looks like a tragedy. And seems 99.9999999999% like one.
However it only LOOKS like one for your emotions. My point is, I believe this song is like a depiction of one different part of life. Because relationships are technically a part of life. And while it hurts real bad, and it's awkward and you want to cry in the shower... It gives lessons. Lessons that eventually you have to move on. Like how a book ends, but not always the story.
But meanwhile, it also shows one of the many dynamics involved in relationships. And sometimes it is crazy nervous and weird.
As for the song, it seems to demonstrate what it's like for a couple after they break up. From Taylor's point of view, it is a dreadful feeling. No one wants to see their ex after a probably bad breakup. And inside she misses him dearly, but can't bring herself to do so. And she hopes the guy can have the courage.
Yet again, even he can't.
Story of Us shows what it means to have a relationship that you thought would last, but instead ends quickly with no words and only anxiety and awkwardnesss. That you have to speak up and learn to have pride in your decisions, not your arguments.
