These lyrics are some of the most powerful I have ever read. Here's my analysis: A girl cheated on him. The signs were there (I should have known) but he wanted to think of her as so good that he couldn't let himself believe that it was actually happening (but I never thought you'd do this to me). Whenever he pictures it in his head it makes him sick and when he suggests that she should have "slit his throat instead" what he means is that she should have broken up with him rather than cheating if she wanted to fuck that guy so badly. The blood would dry (he'd get over it) but the lies she hides (cheating) are rotting her insides. The part of the song that gets me the most is where he says, "They'll never know, cause I'll never tell. Your secrets safe with me I'll never let it out" It's almost as if he wants to show this girl that he's SO much better than her that not only was he the victim but he's gonna take the highroad and not ruin her reputation by spreading it. I could write an essay but I think that covers most of it. Amazing song
