Leftovers Lyrics

First off, I'd like to say that I love this song.

This song just kind of confuses me. What I basically know is that its about a guy and a girl and she ends up leaving him. Can anyone help me out with this.

I think the song is about a beaten down man, disillusioned with love, who is more interested in women who are also at a low point and a quick, physical relationship. He falls for said woman, and ends up being led on and used by a woman who is involved, and in love with another man. This woman is also jaded, probably because of the emotionally unstable relationship with "Jim" (who I would bet is married to another woman), and refuses to take our hero seriously as a potential mate, much to his dismay.
