i agree with felb re: narrator having an idea of what love is supposed to be and realizing someone she's been seeing, who she wears just like a habit, won't fulfill that dream... but think the first stanza is more about a kind of self reflection and realization that she deserves more but has settled for less. it's like she's saying "beat my brow, beat my chest, beat the ones who love me the best"/ she hasnt been listening to her head, her heart, or those that love her the best, maybe family friends etc...who have all assured her that she deserves health, life and passion. she's like how can they all be liars...for whatever reason she's doubted herself and not believed that she could get all that. but she believes in herself now and shes kinda saying fuck it now, i know. ???
