To me, without looking too deeply into it, the song is, strangely, about... love. Two people, both with traumatic experiences, both mentally unstable due to those experiences, who at first find not just sex, but a strange attraction, born from understanding, from finding someone as messed up by life as themselves, only to find that they're too hurt to ever fully trust anyone anymore and to decide to go their own separate ways. "He" then finds that he's desperate to keep her with him, thus needing to say out loud almost all that is said in the song lyrics, asking her in this uncommon way to stay with him, telling her, maybe for the first time, that he wasn't just "using" her, like all the other men have used her, to feel physical pleasure, but that he has actually fallen for her.
Don't hate me for such an interpretation... I'm just a hopeless romantic.
Oh... And about the ending... If you want true happiness for someone as messed u as they are... You have to find a way to make them forget about it. He can't. But still... He tries....
