ive always seen this song as fiona not being able to tell someone (parent maybe?) about her rape. what i am still too proud to mention to you- shes too ashamed to tell. You'll say you understand, but You don't understand you say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye - i see these phrases as saying that these people make these promises to her not knowing whats wrong but when they find out they're not going to be able to handle it or understand. After reading everyone else's thoughts i went over and over the lyrics and this still makes more sense to me.
