I think the song (in my personal opinion) is about trying to correct someone who you love (not necesary a girlfriend or boyfriend), because you know s/he has done bad things and that those actions will end your relationship with this person, when he says:
"I'm coming to find you if It takes me all night" he or she means that s/he will find a way to 'recover' or at least try to make the other person understands that what s/he is doing its totally wrong and bad.
I also think that when he says "The way you look at me,makes me wish I was you", it means that the person who is doing bad things somehow is suffering and that means you or the 'good' person wishes s/he was the one in pain.
The lines "It goes dark, it goes darker still" & "It goes deep, it goes deeper still" for me means the sadness and depression the 'good' person is feeling or going throught.
The end its about how s/he wants it to be "perfect" like it used to be time ago.
I can't actually figure out the part when Smith says "And the smile and the shake of your head" maybe the insanity or the evil living in the other person.
"You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you" means the way the 'bad' person changed and also the way s/he hides the evil feelings, that proves s/he used to be good time ago.
"Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world" means that the love and trust each other had was maybe weird but still they protected/loved each other.
This is just my personal opinion about the song, since I listened to PMM that appears on Ginger Snaps soundtrack I also related it with both Brigitte and Ginger, the way Brigitte wanted to changer her sister when she turned 'evil', I'm not saying the song is inspired in the movie, but that was the easiest example I could find to show my interpertartion.

@Orlock Maybe I've been reading too many DC comics lately but your interpretation made me think of Batman and the Joker.
