Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls. Mama didn't teach me-- Basically that her mother didn't teach her that 'giving it up to whoever' wasn't a bad thing. So when she says 'sweet,' she might mean an innocent virgin image.

Little boys don't know how to treat little girls. Daddy didn't show me-- Possibly that (some) males aren't looking out for the girls best interest as long as the female gives them what they want they don't care-'...don't know how to treat little girls'

Face down, on top of your bed. Oh why did I give it up to you?-- She really only has a sexual relationship with this male, she doesn't love him. She doesn't really understand what or why she's doing whatever she's doing.

Is this how I shoot myself up high,-- 'High' as in make herself feel like she has a good, healthy relationship

Just high enough to get through?-- 'Just enough' as to where it's enough that she doesn't feel in denial about the relationship she is in

Again, the false affection. Again, we break down inside.-- They both know they don't really love eachother and that can possibly hurt (I mean who doesnt want their 'soulmate,' someone who genuinely loves them back) Possibly they've been with eachother for awhile and something is holding them back from leaving one another, but their sexual intimacy is as good as it gets.

Love save the empty. Love save the empty, and save me.-- Self explanatory, wouldn't you agree?

Sad boy, you stare up at the sky When no one's looking back at you.-- He doesn't want anyone to know what he really feels, 'When no one's looking back at you,'

You wear your every last disguise; You're flying, then you fall through.-- He's pretending, but he doesn't want to and he finally breaks down inside.

Stars feel like knives, They tell us why we're fighting.-- I am not exactly sure...?

Storm, wait outside.-- Storm is a metaphor for 'fight'

Oh, love, hold us together.-- She wants it to be love, but it isn'y and she knows that

(By the way, I am only thirteen so I apologize if this 'nonsense' happens to not be even close to exact)
