Alright. I think the song's about someone just generally abusing a relationship.

"'And I can want you only, and if you give me money then I could want you always.'"

  • The girl saying this is telling the guy that if he buys her things, she'll always stay with him.

"...and then she hit me; 'I love you sometimes so much it kills me.'"

  • She's just completely manipulating him and lying, telling him that she loves him just so that she can get material things.

"'Oh, if you give me more...'"

-After stating her undying love, she then asks for more shit. Nice girl, huh?

Anyways, that's a pretty straightforward and excellent song.
