This continues the story from "Dark That Follows" and "The Promise and The Threat".
To summarize, this girl is dating this guy, but is having a relationship on the side with the singer. She loves them both, but refuses to leave her boyfriend. The singer can't just walk away. In "Promise", she tries to leave her boyfriend, to be unsuccessful, and only to start fights about it with the singer. At the end, she hasn't left her boyfriend, and the singer still can't walk away, although now he is feeling quite bitter toward the girl.
This song I think speaks of the girl's more physical relationship with the singer after all the fights they had. "She says I love you with her hands, she says I hate you with her eyes". That she's still having her affair even though she feels bitter toward the singer for trying to make her choose one guy over the other.
The chorus is him saying that eventually they're going to get past this, one way or the other, because what's going on isn't worth fighting over. Or, alternatively, their relationship will end up fading away because it wasn't worth trying to make it work anymore.
I think the chorus is just him thinking about her, "There's a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name" when she's not with him, and that he probably will never tell her how he feels about her, because she's not as committed to this relationship as he is, as he would like her to be.
I think at the end of it, she goes to him one more time ("Down on your knees/and she's beggin' please") and then she tells him it's done. I think at that point he begs her to stay "You won't know who you are until you're down on your knees, and you're begging please")

But I gather she leaves anyway.
