The first time I listened to the "Take a Look in the Mirror" album I didn't even notice this song. Then after a few more times of listening to the CD I realized that I really, really liked this song. It's like once I started to actually pay attention to the lyrics I could understand EXACTLY what this guy was talking about. In the chorus I think basically what he is talking about is a bad relationship in which someone is co-dependent upon him. The woman in the relationship expects him to always be at her beck and call but in return she gives nothing back to him. This situation is literally destroying him from within (i.e. "you suck the life out of me). I think this is a song a lot of people in "one-sided" relationships can relate to. For me this ties with "Right Now" as the best track on the album.
