This song is clearly a break up song. "Tell me in the morning" comes from the common advice "sleep on it" or "it will all be better in the morning". She brings up problems in their relationship that they both recognize (And I'll tell you one more thing; I confess to self deception; Broke the lock and pried it open; Then pretend to be stolen; I am my own thief in the night; Struggled for many years, just to get here; To learn humility, and be my own teacher
I guess it backfired, 'cause my motive was just to take and never care 'bout what I give) but they just fight & yell at each other and end of breaking up. He still cares about her though and wishes that she could have waited to talk about things in the morning, operating under the belief that things would have turned out differently.
I think it's the normal signs of regret and the desire to change the outcome of prior events that one feels after a break up.
