I think this song is about being in love with an abusive partner and accepting it because you love the person/abuser.
The excuse that is used is that the abuser has had a hard life, perhaps came from an abusive home or was abused as a child, so it is not their fault, to make it better for them they can pass the abuse on to another.
Much of the rest of the song is about justifying it
