Wow, this song always blows me away. It's talking about how lonely he is, and how he tried to reach out to other people through music and through sex. Unfortunately he discovered just how hurtful others can be when you try to get close to them, but he sees that other people are just as lonely and hurt as he is. He's also telling other writers and poets to quit glamorizing romance and love, this is how it really feels and it can hurt like hell. And all's fair in love and war? Nothing's fair, heartbreak will affect anyone, whether you deserve it or if you're ready for it or not. But he's still trying to reach out, "Who didn't know... I didn't know..." He knows this is how people can feel because he feels it too.
