I beieve that the poor girl has had a prior love affair that turned out badly. She is coming up from behind a new lover but she is thinking about the previous affair. Somebody that she had quite fallen for. She is telling him she does remember that time. He had filled her head with flattery but now she realized that he would say anything..
"It didn't matter if it was true".
I think he broke it off with her that day.
"And I was never the same
That's when everything changed"
She now sees the new "lover" standing at the window.
"Oh, he's so sweet
I want to love him
I want it so
But when I reach for him
Out he goes"
She could only have one true love. She tried but this guy was a poor substitute. It was tragic how he was just standing at the window and fell.. all on his own.
But of course this poor guy was not the first to have a fall.
"And out he goes
Out you go"
Anyone who has the misfortune to touch her "gashed" heart is in for a nasty fall. That day at the bell tower they had held hands and he had told her flattering tales. They climed the stairs to the top of the tower. Once there he told her he was just joking. He didn't really love her. It had all been just a game. The words ripped through her and in reaction she pushed him out the bell tower window.
So how many "befores" there were is unclear. But she does at least leave any future suiters with a warning.
"I could say I'm surprised but it wouldn't be true
'Cause it happened last time to the one before you
So step away from the gash
I'm coming through"
