I love this song...it is the epitamy of how women feel when they fall for a guy...the obsession that comsumes us...wanting to give our all...always going faster than the guy...we are masocist with the obsession of wanting him to want us completely. The song has everything to do with psychological abuse men are so good at. If you break it down this is my opinion of the song:
Tell me lies, slap me on the face, just improvise
do something really clever that'll make me hate your name forever
(She wants him to find a way for her to let go of him...in her mind he is too perfect)
You might swear you'd never touch a lady
well, let me say you're not too far from maybe
every day you find new ways to hurt me
(This is where the psychological abuse is implied...guys find so many ways to hurt us without it being physical...forgetting important things, ignoring us...etc.)
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool always having my heart set on you
'til the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
(And just like us we take it because the love of this man is more important)
Got resigned from hearing my own story every night I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry
(And she knows that she made her bed and she has to lay in it...because he is what she wants. Inward she is ashamed of how she acts...but she will keep doing it to herself)
All this pain begins to feel like pleasure
with more tears you'd make a seaof desert
salt my wounds and i'll keep saying thank you
(Women start too feel like it's normal to be with an emotionally challenged man...and they start feeling like the abuse is normal)
