I think that the guy she refers to in this song just doesn't get her at all. I think he must be demanding that she open up to him about something but she clearly expresses herself through her music instead of conversation. She doesn't understand what more he could want from her because she is opening up to him with every song that she sings. I think that's why she wonders if he will stick around if she sings every song that she knows because if she does she feels like there would be nothing left to say about how she's feeling. It also seems like he won't open up to her until she reveals something to him in conversation. He is frustrated that she won't talk to him about things and she is frustrated that he won't tell her how he's feeling. But she knows that she has opened up in the way that she does it best, through music. He doesn't understand this point of view.
I love this song, btw. I totally relate because I express myself in poetry and in writing. It's so hard to open up in conversation. Anyway, this interpretation is just how I see this song. I would love feedback on what you think...
