What i get off this song is he feels like he's gotta put on the bad ass attitude to protect himself from getting hurt, but feeling as if his girl is breaking that wall down.
like... "Wronged, am I foul? Never cared for might have been"
like maybe he pushes people away with his, "im rotton to the core" persona to protect himself.
but then goes to sing "Now my heart tattered on my sleeve and I Hear your breath lying next to me. Now my heart tattered On my sleeve, will I see Your name before mine?"
he's relizing he does have feelings for her, but he's just afraid he's gonna get hurt.
