Let's talk weird. This song has been on my iPod for over a year, I never really listened to it. Today, getting ready for work, it randomly came on. It blew me away, not because it's great (which it is) but because it completely describes my current situation.
My girlfriend and I split in Feb, but remained roomies and friends due to financial shortcomings. She uses my car and I pay most of the bills. We promised to be honest about future relationships. 3 days ago I found out she's been seeing someone for a month, and everything came flooding back. I've been a wreck thinking about how I've been used and lied to.
I hate her and love her, this is what Flowers is describing. He's not over her, and barely is able to hide his disappointment when "talking to her," but will refuse to admit it. He goes from disgust to longing instantly. he's confused and wants answers ("I need to know"). He's defiant ("time teaches me to pretend it doesn't matter" & "call me useless, just you wait") calling her out (act like I never turned you on), sarcastic (i'ts great to hear you're doing fine) and secretly hurting inside (all I do is cry). Even the guitars carry angry riffs throughout.
You can actually hear his voice quiver ever so slightly at several points, just like someone trying to keep it together. I should know, I've been like that for a few days.

It hurts to know you're replaceable.
