I like to think each verse of this song is supposed to be a direct quote from the narrator's lover up until the last line of each verse "At least that's what you said." Read like this, the song has much more poignancy and confessional power with the narrator admitting to causing his lover's black eye and casting much more doubt on the "seriousness" of the relationship.
