This song is about the terrifying moment when a dysfunctional relationship ends badly and you lay awake at night anxious considering the ways in which the other person might try to get back at you. You're powerless since you've given up all the emotional leverage you've ever had over them and what you DID have was toxic to begin with.
The little quaver in JD's voice when he says "Heey, what are you doing my love?" is the moment you realize they are gonna rage right through you and never look back. The speaker is desperately trying to communicate that the emoional violence serves no purpose anymore. Yikes. I've been here and it's nerve wracking.
