Its about conflicting perspectives of a relationship. Its about when you think you have a good thing going with a girl (in my personal case), but she only calls you at night for the hook-up ("she says come over right away"). Sure, you keep telling yourself that its special and you mean something to her, but youre just being used and you know it ("but shes just not that way"). You never would have thought such a cute and apparently innocent girl would have such messed up ideas ("her little soul is stolen").
now, allow me to make it personal on the chorus. this girl i was with would tell me about how she used to have this depression/cutting problem. when i realized i was just being used like this and that she would rather spend her saturday nights with other guys, i honestly stopped seeing her as a victim of her depression and self-deprecating manner. i thought she was just feeling sorry for herself. i think theres some sarcasm in what dex is saying here in the chorus. "pull the shades, razor blades, youre so tragic" is like saying 'yeah, you would get all sad when you tell me im not good enough'.
the second part of the chorus is about the guy being overwhelmed and then apathetic to the reality of the problem. like missneurotic said, a love/hate thing.
the second verse is just bitter. the guy tries to level with the girl on an emotional level, and she laughs in his face. from that point on, whenever he thinks of her, he just gets embarassed and tries not to think about how much of a sucker he was.
