i like this song, it's still got a good beat but is deffinately different to some of the other stuff on the album.
i'm not sure, but maybe the persona feels used by someone:
"my self respect has died"
-the person feels foolish for being used and know's it's wrong.
"you make me. / you break me."
-they don't want to be used, they genuinely like the person and feel vunerable and damaged when they realise that they are being used.
"and maybe it's draining"
-they are tired of it and want things to change.
"ok, you want it all the same"
-as if to say "you don't want things to change and you want to remain in control"
"i will not be that way. / i'll take it day by day"
-suggests to me that the person no longer wants to be in this vunerable situation and no longer wants to be used. they are going to try their hardest to refrain from running back because they know it will just end in more tears and heart-ache.
i might be totally wrong, but it's just a suggestion.(if not very a long-winded one, lol.)
