At the same time it has that juxtaposition of emotions saying 'If I didn't love you I'd hate you,' because at the back of your mind you've got that insecurity about your inability to have a proper relationship with somebody."<sup id="cite_ref-songbysong_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-songbysong-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Difford also praised Tilbrook's guitar solo, saying, "I also love Glenn's slide guitar solo.
