This is a really beautiful song, but I always viewed it as a total backhand. Breakdown was not a time in Melissa's life that she was writing love songs. In fact, when Julie heard the songs, she dared Melissa to write a love song-- Sleep. A beautiful song too, but this one is very interesting. Its Stockholm Syndrome to me--the lover conceals, disconnects, manipulates, has a thorny kiss, reads her like a prayer, makes her weak, strips her to desire... But yet she still loves her. Its the song about duality. For everything bad the lover does, she balances it with good.
And, as always, the lover speaks about the monsters. :)
