Now You Want to Show Me How Lyrics

I think the lyric is "Now you wanna show me how you hate the sight of me 'oh why?'

And I think this song is about a relationship that had something terrible happen in it, but the two people tried to get passed it and stay together, though there are only negative feelings from one of said people to the other. There is nothing to talk about because it is an old badly worn relationship.

I think those two things because of the lines 'burned out, still glowing, but im not worth knowing' and 'Washed out small talk, that's all I can do To interact with you Because no word of kindness Puts the whole thing behind us.'
