I think this song might be about having a long distance relationship, cheating on the boyfriend, possibly falling in love with a different guy, and then trying to break up with the boyfriend.
She tries to break it to him easy...
"You know there's no rhyme or reason
For the way you (our relationship) turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change my mind (about being in love with you)
Not intentionally
She repeats what her boyfriend told her,
"Always keep your heart locked tight. Don't let your mind retire" (Keep your heart for me. Don't let your mind be overwhelmed in a moment of temptation)
Then she says how she tried...
"Well, I try to keep myself together
After all the opportunities
Try to stay true to you and try to do
What you wanted from me"
And then goes on to explain how she's fallen in love with some one else...
"Oh, but I just couldn't take it
I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire...It felt right"
He's tried to ignore tell-tale signs that this has been going down so she drives her point home and tries to tell him he will be alright...
"The way you use your imagination
Try to make it what you want it to be
Because I'm sorry I did what I did
But it came naturally"
"I know it's hard to hear me say it
But I can't bear to stay
And I just know, I know, I know, I know
That you're gonna be okay anyway"
