I never claimed to be your savior
I said I had a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behavior
If you're too dumb to work it out
I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you miss the point?
I'm feeling small
I'm climbing the walls
I don't let it show
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb
Maybe I could write a letter
To help me with my self-esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what they seem
I'm feeling small
Climbing the walls
I don't let it show
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb
You still don't know what you think of me
You still don't know what you mean to me
You still don't know what to think of me
You still don't know what you think of me
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish you could let it go
You'll never come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb
Now that you know what you know
You're going to reap what you sow
Nothing will come sucking your thumb
Better off dumb
You still don't know what you think of me
You still don't know what you mean to me
You still don't know what to think of me
You still don't know what you think of me [Repeat: x5]
You still don't know what I think of me
You still don't know what you think of me.
I said I had a dirty mouth

I think it necessarily has anything to do with relationships. I figured that it was about how people try to figure out but they're too dumb to figure out who she is. When people figure out how she really is, she can be disappointing, and different then what they figured her to be, as if she is in a terrible state.
But I also have the feeling that this man is a little bit childish and naive : "sucking you thumb", and he's been a bit disorientated by her character.
He thought he knew her & tried to tell her what she was all about, but she's telling him he never knew her or got her: "stop analysing my behaviour/if you're too dumb to work it out". She tells him, no matter what he thinks of her, she never claimed to be his saviour in the first place.
She's telling him he never got her: "You should get to know me better; no-one's ever what they seem." and he still doesn't: "You still don't know what you think of me."
A good look at a bad relationship over and done with: The person with the baggage and issues ironically seems to the one who best sees the truth of the matter.
How many of us have been in the same boat?
