I think this song is about leaving someone in a crappy relationship. You want to help them and do the best that you can but sometimes it's just impossible to salvage anything anymore.
She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
In this part I think it's like a conversation: She says "It hurts too much" as in life is too painful and thus she wants to end it. But he responds "It will never hurt enough" as in in life there is nothing soo emotinally scarring that you should take your life, that there is never a reason for suicide. Then she trys to say that she will simply cover it up and no one will ever "Call her bluff" as in see under the mask that she is making, pretending she is happy all of the time.
"Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like to be on the receiving end of it all
No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all
You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?"
This part just kind of came to me because I've been in this sort of relationship before. This is another kind of conversation part: He says that they use to be in love but when they broke up, they broke all of their promises to each other and he feels bad for that. Then he challenges her saying that she has never felt real pain and sorrow, saying again that she shouldn't be thinking of killing herself. So yeah, some parts are fuzzy but I think thats what it's about really.
