Personally, I think this song is about a couple and their relationship. Each partner is telling their point-of-views throughout a really bad part of their relationship. The first pov of the man is that their relationship is becoming stagnant or boring and begins to be look at other women, "Its so contagious...such something changing my mind," and he ends up cheating with another woman, "Im gonna take whats evil." The woman knows and speaks about how his trembling eyes and actions are giving him away. She feels that they are just acting like nothing is wrong, but knows that guilt is eating him alive. He in turn, feels that he can't swallow his pride and tell her what happened, because he is worried about the reprecussions and that she might leave him or he may hurt her. He then starts trying to drink his problems away, but cannot find full release there either. He then repeats the chorus explaining how he realized how much she means to him. They then end up having an argument and he keeps lying until he finally tells the truth. He then feels "you can't steal what's paid for" as in, you cant change the past and he cannot do anything more about it. He feels as though he has "murdered" her heart, and this causes him much pain as well. In her part, she knows he is lying. As he finally tells her, she turns and leaves, heartbroken. He tries to get her to stay, but she feels like just running away from the world. She feels they might/will "lose forever", as in their dreams of being together forever. They stay together but he feels that she is going to give up and "when you try, don't try to say you wont", meaning she's "going to try to say she wont try". Then she begins to cry when with him, having all the hurt build up inside of her. He describes it as "Try to crawl into my head", because each time she cries it shows her feelings and he wishes he could do something to change the past, but it is impossible. Again he tries to describe his feelings to her in the chorus, telling her that he will never do anything like that again, and that she is "the one" for him.
