"She was built with a brain
and some swagger.
A little scream, little cry,
little laughter.
She's a ten,
I'm a joke in my own mind.
But she still loves to dance
with my punch lines."
Here he is saying that he thinks that she is amazing and that he is a joke that could never compare. This is like him saying that he is not worthy of her, and he doesn't understand why she still loves him, because he's not good enough for her in his own mind.
"This love found us
now I see it.
This love up down.
Please believe."
He is saying that he thinks that they were meant to be together, and he saw it to late and that he he's begging her to stay with him.
"Baby, when I'm yellin' at you,
It's not your fault"
He is saying that he has an anger issue, or perhaps a split personality, and he can't control himself, and wishes that he could, but all he can do is to tell her afterward that it wasn't her fault.
"It's not your fault, yeah and
Baby cuz I'm crazy for you,"
He's telling her that he loves her, and that just because he loves her does not make it her fault that he isn't alright in the head and that all of his problems are not her doing.
"It's not your fault
It's not your fault, yeah
Maybe I'm a little confused,"
He tells her that he's trying to straighten out his life, and nothing is fitting into place or making any sense.
"It's not your fault
It's not your fault, yeah and
Baby, it a wonderful news.
It's not your fault
It's not your fault, yeah"
He's apologizing and telling her that she doesn't have to feel bad, because it simply is not her fault that he is crazy.
"Oh, it's not that you should care.
I just wanted you to know."
He knows that he does not deserve her forgiveness, but he's asking for it anyway.
"I'm a fight with myself
till I'm bleeding.
Just a taste of your skin
starts the healing.
Anyone from my past
get your ammo.
Find my sun in the dark side
of my shadow."
He is saying that the two halves of him, his two personalities, the one that would yell at her, and the one that would do anything to keep her are at war. He is fighting with himself, and the only thing that can save him is her. He needs his friends- anyone from his past- to -get their ammo- and help him, the good part of him, which is the sun save himself from the shadow that is his unkind self.
This is not only an apology, but a plea for help from the only person that can help him, and he hopes beyond all reason that she will not hate him, even though he deserves it, because as he says, it's not her fault, and that means that it is his. He wants her to love him, and hopes it's not to late.
That's what I think, because of a personal experience I happened to have had quite recently, I know how he feels, that he needs help saving the sun from the shadow.

Couldn't that also mean he's going to face his past?
