it looks to me like he's drawing a comparison between the way his girlfriend makes him feel..
"all the pain that wells and swells and stings me;
pain's the only real thing you bring me"
and the way the alcohol is "treating" her..
"(have you found the thing you love? because...)
all the fucking time you know it takes you
and all the fucking time it breaks you."
pointing out that the two relationships are actually very similar. in a way, he's showing his own hypocrisy -- he berates his girlfriend for continuing her self-destructive behavior, while he effectively does the same by staying in the relationship.
this song reminds me of taking too much nyquil and makes me wanna spaz out every time i listen to it. too good.
