It could be about the critics, it could be about Kate... it could even be about Carl if you would like to interpret it that way... as this song is obviously opened to many interpretations.
I personally interpret this song from my point of view... 'it's not easy getting it out your head' - it's not easy to forget someone you have fallen for... 'it's too easy getting out your head' - as the 'it' article was left out, it creates a different meaning, meaning that it's very easy for this to drive you on the break of insanity! Also, 'it's not easy getting out of bed' implies that it's difficult to get up to a new day where you're slapped in the face with the pain.
'Tell me now, could not explain no' - expresses the confusion of the relationship, 'you used to be into me, now you've got it in for me' states that all was going well until everything started to become weird and this is the reason for the inexplainable confusion.
'Don't you think about what they said? The way they teased me' is one of my favourite lines alongside with the next verse... it doesn't necessarily fit with what I have been saying but it could be the singer bringing other people into the song and what they think about the singer in this situation.
'And I know where to find you my love' states that the singer knows exactly where his lover is and could just as well go to 'the same old flat' uninvited (also suggesting that the singer has a history of being invited there because the singer knows where it is) but is too afraid of the consequences as the singer obviously still has feelings for the dedicatee and wants to make the dedicatee love the singer back and have everything back to good so they could progress further.
I don't know if that makes any sense to you but that's how I feel about the song...
