i guess this about the breakdown of a relationship...
there were obviously problems that needed sorting out, and she feels her lover was pretending to try and work at it but not didn't: "like how could you do nothing, and say, 'i'm doing my best'". and then he begged her to stay & upped and left: "how could you beg me to stay, reach out your hands and plead, and then pack up your eyes and run away, as soon as i agreed ". i love when she sings "i guess that makes me the jerk with the heartache"...it is, indeed, heartbreaking. it's a heartbreaking song, sung with such passion. aching, yes...
