I don't know where you got that from, but to each their own. I look at this like looking back on a relationship gone bad. Sounds like the writer is slowly coming to terms with what the other person put them through. Now, the chorus, on the other hand kinda paints a picture of maybe running into that other person at like a party or something. Something gets said, there's some degree of animosity, but that other person still helps him/her to their car to end the night....

...the Elihu and Lemore thing is totally foreign to me. Best I could dig up is that they're both modern-era philosophers....
