Am I the only person that feels that this song is about the lasting effects of sexual abuse? Come on, it's so melancholic, beyond a break up. The entirety of the lyrics speaks of long standing depression and dissociation that is associated with PTSD. As well, the majority of the lyrics are closely associated with the emotions and thoughts of a survivor. "CAUSE WHAT'S INSIDE HER NEVER DIES!' Way beyond the typical dissolution of an interpersonal relationship.

i agree with this wholeheartedly, the prior guy messed her up, and it wasn't cause he just lied, he really hurt her
