I have had an experience that is all too relatable to this song. A while ago I liked this guy who turned into a total jerk in the amount of time I had a crush on him. I knew that he wasn't what he was trying to make himself out to be, and/or that he was being such a jerk because he was covering up his insecurities. I grew farther apart from him as friends over a while, though I still saw him a few times a week. He said mean and rude things (not necessarily to anyone in particular) and I would get mad at him but then later I would always come up with excuses for his behavior. I knew at that point that there was no chance that he reciprocated my feelings for him, but I still felt concern for him and I wanted more than anything to help him whether he liked me back or not. Even still, I couldn't get over him and I still felt an undeniable attraction to him.
The verses are me trying to support him and help him get rid of the horrible facade he had started to hide himself behind. The chorus is me reconfirming my affection for him, but then painfully bringing up the fact that he has hurt people. The "are you suffering?" part is partially me wanting him to pay for his actions and how he had unintentionally ensnared me, and a bit of it is a more sexual sort of tone.
When I just recently discovered this song, having gotten over him, I was uncannily reminded of the emotions that I felt towards him.
