Wow. These lyrics are gorgeous. By the way, it's Faultline featuring Chris Martin, not Coldplay featuring Faultline. :P
Anyway, back to the lyrics. They are gorgeous. As soon as I heard it, that first line "I slipped away last night" immediately drew me in and I was instantly in love and emotionally in sync with this song. There's something about Chris Martin's voice that can make you swoon, think about and just be completely sucked into the song.
I don't think it's about physical violence per se, I think a lot of the descriptions of injures ("broken arm", "the punch I threw") are all metaphors for someone emotionally wounding someone. And the song is kind of a confession, reflection and plea for forgiveness for the narrator, knowing that they had done something so very wrong in emotionally hurting someone they love. Just my take on the song.
