I think this song is pretty straightforward and still so powerful.
Her boyfriend broke up with her and basically blamed it on all her. Kelly, however, is smart enough to realize that it isn't her fault at all. He is the one who screwed the relationship up. He is the one who's not good enough.
"you said i'm not good enough, i'm not good enough.
but you really mean is you're not good enough, you're not good enough.
you can't deliver, so you turn it around"
Her boyfriend told her she's not good enough, but they both know it's him that's not good enough. He knows he's wrong and can't deliver, so he blames it on her.
"you didn't let me down, you didn't tear me apart.
you just opened my eyes while breaking my heart."
She's saying that he didn't really let her down because he showed her the truth: he's bad news and not good for her. By breaking up with her he broke her heart, but at the same time he made her realize that he is a shitty guy to begin with.
"you didn't do it for me.
i'm not as dumb as you think.
you just made me cry while claiming that you love me"
The boyfriend probably told her he was breaking up for her sake, but she's smart enough to see through it. Every time he said he loved her he was lying, and she now realizes this.
A very powerful song about unrequited love and dating a douchebag in disguise. Most of us have been there.
