thanks for the lyric edits! I honestly couldn't find the right ones ANYWHERE online. Also, I love how this song can be so personal for everyone even if the meanings are completely different.
For me, the song has a lot to do with cynicism. I suppose there could be a personal story for me in there somewhere, but it's more just a connection to my life. The first verse to me sounds like she is a wounded animal, turned an ugly shade of angry and untrusting by things or past relationships in her life. Something with this guy became a trigger and brought back all of the memories, sort of like PTSD.
In the second verse, now that her new partner in this budding relationship has seen this side of her, even if it's not the real her, he can't go back to viewing her how he did before.
In the verse, it feels like she's begging him, trying to convince him that she's still the same girl, she just has all this shit, these scars, to work through. She's still human, it's just that sometimes she can turn and strike. The verse also has a more worldly meaning to me as well. It reminds me that everyone acts the way they do for a reason, and not to take things personally. They have scars and faults, but ultimately they are human, and probably beautiful underneath all of it and I should try to be more empathetic, understanding, and patient.

sorry, in the fourth paragraph I meant to say in the chorus, not in the verse.
