I went because you said you'd be there
a box of candy, smoke in your hair
when I didn't know I didn't care
but now I know,
love just leaves you bruised
and I've always taken it to be just what it said...
a guy goes to a bar or something to meet a girl, brings her chocolate.. blah....
but I was thinking, maybe it's more than that.
Like, I was friends with this girl but I knew she was emotionally unavailable, so I didn't "let myself fall" for her... but then she started flirting with me and the next thing I knew, bam, I had fallen.
So it's like... "I went because you said you'd be there" means "I let myself fall for you because you said you'd catch me."
And the line "box of chocolates" could mean you went into it (bar/relationship) thinking that it would be a box of chocolates and what you got was "smoke in your hair"...
Let me start out by saying, I LOVE THIS SONG...
Okay.. I was thinking about the line
I went because you said you'd be there a box of candy, smoke in your hair when I didn't know I didn't care but now I know, love just leaves you bruised
and I've always taken it to be just what it said...

See where I'm going with this?
