Is This What You Wanted Lyrics

Cover art for Is This What You Wanted lyrics by Leonard Cohen

He was never good enough for her in her own eyes, but he remained loyal where she became loose. She suffered as he remained whole. In the end she is too weak to remain with one man, but to weak to leave that man because she knows she is un-love-able.

Or on the flip side, its about pity sex with a woman he could never have, neither explanation would surprise me. Is this what you wanted? To have a sexual connection that is empty?
