Shelter Lyrics

Here is the story I take from the lyrics:

She finds shelter problems/conflict in the bedroom, using sex as a means of solving and/or avoiding problems in her relationship. She is asking herself (or her lover), can I NOT fall on that habit and actually DEAL with problems in a real and healthy way?

She is mad for this person and hates that she can't function without him. She feels so strongly that she can't even believe her moments with him were real. She wants him to bear with her and help her to change and ultimately grow as a person. She seems to feel like she isn't up to par for this person, and is promising that she will make great leaps and make him love her.

I could be pretty off, as what I stated above is very close to my current situation. This song hits me really hard, and my goodness, its beautiful.
