'Inside my mouth I can hear all the voices say
Do not lean over the ledge'
Ok so basically she's talking about how everyone always told her to be careful.
'I shouldn't look down and I shouldn't have found
That your lips I still taste in my head'
She's remembering the night she made the mistake that changed everything.
'Raising my glass to the head of the class
As she powers out steps one through ten'
This I think is the night of the mistake, at a graduation, prom or something like that?
'I think I'll be fine if I'm covered in wine
Nice to hate you and love you again'
This she talks about getting ready to see her mistake again, and she'll be okay if she's drunk.
'And see you again
And see you again'
Even though she's angry/scared/sad to see him again, she's still longing for him.
'Weary and worn little monster is born
Tell me lies and I'll justify them'
Ok, so her mistake was that she had a one night stand and got pregnant. The man didn't want anything romantic, but decided to stick around.
'Desperate today and it's making me pay
For that night for that kiss for your bed'
She's thinking back to that one night and she feels sad and longing.
'Whoever dared to love someone out there
I don't need a balloon and a pin'
She's turned very pessimistic with love, and doesn't need a slap back into reality.
'The name of the game is outrunning the blame
So I hate you and love you we're friends'
Even though he did take responsibility for the kid, it affected her life the most. She hates him and loves him because she's in love with him and wants to be a family, but he just wants to be friends.
'Guess we'll be friends
I guess we'll be friends'
She doesn't want to be friends.
'Oh why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?'
She's attached to him and doesn't understand why things have to be like this and she doesn't understand why they can't be a couple.
'Better stop crying hello and goodbye-ing
Go on through me slip right through my hands'
This, I feel like, is singing about the kid. It's the father's turn to have it and she now pretty much feels like she has nothing when her child is at her dad's, the man that she loves.
'You get your time and the other half's mine
It's okay this love weighs fifty men
It's okay this love weighs fifty men
It's okay this love weighs fifty men'
I think this part she's singing about the joint custody to the dad but she's okay with it because she buries herself into other men to not feel so alone.
'Oh why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why can't you take me?'

Again she's so desperate for him.
'Amen Amen Amen Amen'
The end.
@saveme22 This is one of my favourite songs and you broke it down so perfectly. Thank you! It all makes sense now!
