i agree with some parts..yes opened up to the girl, but i dont think he loved her, because he's clearly over her in this song 'i can still remember when your city smelt exciting' ..as in he doesnt see it now! but at that time he made mistakes that allowed her to control him.. then 'if he was calm like you' is basically saying that if he'd been rational about it while 'locked up inside of your loops' he would have known that she'll do him no good,he would have 'said goodbye'.. 'promises it knew it couldn't keep' is just about having really high expectations from this girl,while at heart knowing that the mountain was far too steep.... is what i think.
