I think the male and the female vocals, they lyrics they sing, how they're laid out...everything...it serves to tell a story. Firstly, the male vocals are talking about how he was obviously hurt by this person and he no longer wants anything to do with her anymore. Then, Melanie comes in and sings about how she desperately wants someone but he doesn't love her...could she possibly represent the person that the lead singer is singing about in the first half of the song? He was hurt by her, and wants to sever all ties, while she still loves him but knows that it's over...just a thought.
