I have 2 theories on this song... maybs Its speaking through an opposite point of view. I can relate to this very well... Its like this person speaking is talking as if he were the other person (possibly a love) who he's hurt, and is sort of mockingly saying "Yea, I hurt you, I'm sorry, you're thinking about this all wrong"

Or maybe its speaking to a person who loves this other person... but keeps getting hurt... and is trying to stay away... and cant believe anything the other person says, because things keep getting fucked up.
