My favorite line is "I guess you could say, I gave you my edge".
Its like emphasizing how much he has given up for her/their relationship. Not in a "you owe me" kind of way, but almost in a........ "thats how much i love you" way. Buts thats not the exact feeling i get from that line. It's hard for me to explain.. it's more of just a really honest statement of how vulnerable he is. Like any advantage he had in the relationship (whether it be emotional distance, or no intention of committing etc) he's given up for her. Like "Here I am. No shroud, no mystery. I no longer have anything to keep me from getting hurt. You now have the advantage over me."
Its like that point in a relationship where you realize that this person could hurt you more than anyone else. That you are in such a vulnerable position. Not that you don't trust them... But there's always that fear, and that prayer in the back of your mind, that they don't abuse that power they have.
And the way he sings it is just so matter-of-fact, and yet weak at the same time. And that combined with the melody and everything, it's just...beautiful.

Wow. I love your comment. 'I gave you my edge' is brilliant line for me, too And 'matter-of-fact' is such a great expression for Paul's style.
