Well, after listening to this song a lot, and seeing the video, I personally think that it's about a girl who is afraid of being hurt in a relationship, whether it is do to past relationships or inexperience, so afraid , that, every time she gets into an argument or feels like she is going to be hurt by her husband or boyfriend, she hurts him instead. Not necessarily physically, but, she hurts him. She doesn't do it because she doesn't love him, it's just that she loves him so much that she doesn't know what to do to hold onto him, so she's asking him to "please not leave her".
"I can be so mean when I wanna be"
She can be mean when she wants to be, as if saying she can be mean when she feels betrayed.
"But my heart is.... Broken."
In reality, her heart is broken, for whatever reasons she has, showing a sign of insecurity which causes her to act out on her lover.
"I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this"
She says she doesn't need him because she wants him to be the one to feel inferior, when inside, she does, but she doesn't really want him to leave, which is going to cause it to "always come back to this", which is her abuse.
"I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry."
Her love really is beautiful to her, and she needs him, and then she goes back to calling him her "little punching bag", to show that her abuse is part of her love. The part where she says she needs him is basically just her apologizing.
This is just my quick interpretation, I'm probably totally off, but, whatever. It's always fun to contribute either way. ^^
