Is this how it ends?
Lying in bed talking to a cheap tape recorder
Instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever
They wanted to know how could I leave you
I can't tell them that
It might sound like revenge
Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure
Some things you can't feel safe about
Where do I start?
I was waiting for my head to clear up
I thought I was smart
I'd find the answers in time
But the answers I find aren't what you wanna hear
They're not even close
Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure
Some things you can't feel safe about
Some things don't need a clear up
You got that?
I remember good things
Like the van breaking down
I sat in your lap in the auto repair
And you touched my hair
While the heavy drops rained on the pavement outside
Don't take revenge
Just let it lie
The easiest thing is if you just let it die
Don't give me a chance
You don't owe me that
Don't follow me out
I'll think you're coming for some payback
Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure
Some things you can't feel safe about
Some things don't need a clear up
You got that?
Why did I leave?
How long did it take?
It could take forever
Some things don't need a payback
You got that?
You got that?

I think this is meant to describe a break up gone terribly terribly wrong.
