Ok, no, it is SHE in the second verse. That line, "Nobody died for you, somebody pray for me" could be taken a couple different ways. He could be saying that he doesn't believe that anbody died for us, IE. Jesus, or whoever you believe in. But even though he doesn't believe that, he still wants some one to pray for him, because maybe he's wrong, and someone did die for us. The song has plenty of different meanings that could be gained from it. I like the one about war, because that's usually what happens. I know from personal experience with someone in my family. They go to war, and then they're sent home, and they believe that noone could possibly understand what they've seen and been through, so they push everyone away. Then they regret it, and wish that they hadn't, because they realize just how much they need their loved ones to be there for them. It also sounds like a relationship song. In the first two verses, he's watching the man and woman struggle, and in the third verse, he's struggling because of them. It could be like a parent child relationship. You usually feel pulled between two opposite forces when your parents divorce, here again, I speak from personal experience. So, he's trying to place the blame where it belongs, on his parents, or these two fictional characters, but in the third verse, he blames himself. And throughout the whole song, you can see it coming from a mile away, because he keeps saying, '"It's because of me, right!!???"' And at the very end, he makes it plainly clear that he wants them to suffer the way they've made him suffer.
