I don't think its about him being whipped, or in a shitty relationship at all.
"I have been lax
In double screening what I say
It wasn't funny anyway"
Sounds exactly like a poorly-chosen/delivered joke that he's fessing up to.
"No one cares when you are wrong
But I've been at this far too long
To act like that when we should be
In perfect harmony"
Read: 'I could point to things you've done wrong too, dear, but I've been in too many relationships to think that will end well. Instead, I'll let you have this one, it was my bad, I stand corrected, can I just hold your hand again?'
"Lord knows I haven't tried
I'll take my stand
One last time
Forget the protocol
I'll take your hand
Right in mine"
Ok, not too sure how this one plays out. "Lord knows I haven't tried" sounds to me like he wants to improve himself, but hasn't put in the effort. Taking his stand one last time could then mean he's hoping this will be the last time he gets called on something like this and has to stand corrected. Ain't got nothing for how he forget[s] the protocol, however.
