Tell me why this song is about bad relationships because it seems quite the opposite to me...

"I was sick of restrictions, sick of the boundaries, about to close the door, Such a lack of conviction, no real connection" - talking about old relationships, all the problems he had with them, and how he'd given up on finding someone worth while

"Now I don't know what to do with myself do with myself I don't want nobody else I let you in I let you in and you infected me Can't get enough of you I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep Don't think I'm pulling through" - He's found someone, let his guard down and now he's fallen for her and he knows he's too deeply in love to go back to meaningless relationships and he's not gonna pull through, or get over this girl etc etc...

I feel like the way he sings it, it can't be a song about how he's addicted to a chick thats not good for him

I agree completely with ontogenesis. The guy is addicted to this girl and he knows that she's the one for him. He feels addicted to her and kind of helpless but in a good way. She set him free from other problems. I don't see how she could be bad for him with the line "you don't want nobody else." I think most songs are meant to be interpreted by how the listener feels at the time, though, so I'm not saying anyone is wrong =)
