I tend to think the first three lines are kind of one sentence or possibly 2, no? They're certainly not all individual sentences. It's something like this:
"She told me why. She told me lies always take care of this."
As in, she told him lies can cover for something, some problem. Especially since it's the same in the second verse:
"I told her how I've always stayed. Always waiting, for nothing."
So, she's trying to cover up something in their relationship with lies. Maybe she's saying, if they both ignore some problem it will just go away or stop being, i.e. be taken "care" of.
His argument though is that he's always been there, "always stayed", "waiting" for things to get better, but nothing has changed.
The rest of the lyrics then seem to confirm that there is no hope for the relationship. The "here" being the relationship. Once the guy, who is obviously the one being held in the relationship by the woman, finally decides to break free, he'll be able to see clearly and realise how long he has been in an, ultimately, fruitless relationship. However the "chorus", if it can be called that...
"And I can, see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow "
This seems to suggest, since both singers sing it as themselves looking at the other person, that both will see the other as suffering from having left the relationship. Of cours emaybe they both just see what they want to see and can't admit for themselves that they're not happy out of the relationship, so they shift the focus to the other person's perceived misery. It's hard to say. :]
