Wow, I see this entirely different from the other people commenting on this song, except for the second one, at least partially... I don't think it's about an abusive relationship, or a relationship that isn't working, at all.
I interpret this as one of those relationships that catch you a bit off guard. Maybe you've been used to being with someone laid back, someone that maybe takes things a bit seriously, moving slow and being thorough. And at some point that ends, and the next person you meet is the exact opposite. It's fast, it's intense, it's new and it's "go go go", no time to think, just feel and do.
The part about roughing up and hurting I take more figurative than literal, like getting your hair ruffled or being exhausted, maybe getting in a bit too deep when you realise that the other person isn't as serious as you are, because you are used to being serious. This part can also be interpreted sexually.
The bottom line seems to me to be "This is going so fast, such a whirlwind, I don't know where my next step will take me but I want to see, I don't want this to stop, baby don't stop."
