A sad song about a couple that is breaking up. She can't stand certain things about him and needs to be on her own, find her own identity. She is angry and "burning him in effigy" (although it seems that she doesn't admit that she's doing so).
He can't stand the fighting but can't imagine them acutally breaking up. In the chorus he clings to the hope that she will always be there in the end. And in the end, he is begging her not to leave.
