I guess I see this song as taking place after a major breakup. He is a lonely soul who thinks he has gotten over the original girl only to find he is more lonely than ever. He turns to a rebound, the girl who doesn't deserve his love. This creates a feeling, a hurt, and when your in this stage most times this hurt is the best feeling.
