To me this song isnt about the boyfriend being controlling like "you cant do this" i think its more that he has such a hold on her. She was so in love with him, that she would do anything for him, not so much because he would tell her to, but because she loved him so much. she would take anything he threw at her because she loved him, and eventually it got to the point where she couldnt handle it anymore, and he is now realizing that he did a bad job in the relationship. that he knew how much she loved him, and that even though he didnt control her in the sense people think, he sort of did. thats just my take on it though
