I don't think he knows any better when it comes to sex because this is the way that he was taught to be with a girl.
Like in this stanza he thinks that love is sex. Instead of thinking with his head at all, he mistakes what he thinks is love as being horny. He lets his hormones control him and i think that this is his way of showing that he cares for this girl.
"And it's a poor boy who's alive at best
And mistakes the pulse inside his chest
For the cartiledge between his legs
And it's all he knows
It's all he knows"
Even though he may mean the best, the girl needs more. She feels used because she wants more. I'm sure she has been in many other sexual relationships with boys that have told her that they love her only to leave her later on.
"And it's a sad girl who sits and cries
Mistakes true love for brutal lies
And a warm wet tongue in between her thighs
It's all she knows
All she knows"
He doesn't completely use her though because why else would he care about why she seems to be depressed if he cares nothing for her? He wants to know why his actions seem to make her this way, he doesn't know what else to do though because this is after all, "all he knows"
"And he wonders what she hides in those bags under her eyes
The secrets of the sleepless nights she spent with him
Since she let him in"
She cries out that broken hands make broken things, even if what you know is all that you know doesn't mean that it makes you feel any better. So broken or false reasoning ends up with false conclusions. He may think that this is no big deal to be having sex but she knows better and it's tearing her up inside. She has been in these relationships before and realizes that more there has to more to a loving relationship than this, but still, she is afraid to leave him and it depresses her
