I believe that this song is defiantly about sex. In concert, Davis sometimes sings "I feel the semen as it's leaving me, no, not again". This song is about how he strives to feel compassion and love in his relationship, but he can only feel anything during intercourse. It is a deceiving feeling, because it feels like something real, but he knows it not. This is what makes him feel bad.
