In concert in San diego, fiona said that this song was about when you know a relationship is bad, but you keep going back to it to make sure there isn't anything left. And you come away going... yep, still crap.
I think the singsong melody sarcastically contrasts the grimmness of the line "so sick in the head i need to be bled dry to quit". It's a pretty melodramatic statement, and is contrasted by the simplicity of the other option: "or I just really used to love him". haha, fiona, you're so great!
