I think this song is a romantic song because it refers to love, but I have never felt that it's a positive side of love. To me it seems as if the protagonist can't quite catch his intended lover's attention with any "skills/abilities/qualities" he possesses, so he has to resort to "pity love". It sounds as if he doesn't have enough to offer her, so he will prove his love by physically hurting himself, and expect she will love him back out of pity.
As beautiful as "while you are tangled up in sleep" seems, it shows me more of a total indifference to him.
"and this is my gift: is asking you to fix my ruined hands" - just pitifully and painfully sad.
If you watch the video clip of "Você Pode Ir Na Janela", by the Brazilian band Gram, you'll see what I see.
