It's so evident. It's written from the POV of a guy, dating a girl who not only struggles continuously with self-esteem and life-satisfaction issues but who also dwells in her self-pity. Thus the line... "everything old is new again... everything under the sun" meaning all the same bullshit plagues this girl and nothing ever makes a difference. His love doesn't make a difference because her low self-esteem perpetuates the sentiment: "I say I love her, she thinks I'm telling lies" While she expresses suicidal aspirations, she takes comfort in her sad-bastard existinence and as long as she has that... "everything old is new again!" Geeze, I think I've dated a couple-few of these types. :(
