It's about a married couple that fight all the time. Part of her wants to leave him, but she doesn't. She's been putting up with him for a long time, and nothing's changing. She tells herself she's invested too much time in this relationship to leave it, but that's just rationalizing. The more honest reason emerges when she says their relationship is "a habit." She feels the pain, but she didn't leave before, and nothing has changed to push her out.
"the words we've both fallen under" is their wedding vows. She made a commitment to this marriage and, for better or for worse, she's sticking to it.
