My thoughts...
well my story
i believe is about a person that for some reason got angry, had a fight and hurt the other
"let me in take me for who I am
And not for who I've been, who I've been"
personally: This song touch and describe a pass event that happen to me;
I have known my actual partner for more than two years, and suddenly on a church retire i got really depressed and didn't want to talk about it; so i keep pushing him away and he questioned me why i keep pushing him away because he was trying to help me; he grab my arms more than tight. I fell, and then he realize what he did and started saying sorry, believe me,he never was like that, when i listen to the story (explication) he reacted like that because he was having trouble and anger against his biological father (he is an ass)so he has anger for him;
when the song says
"If I told you I've been cleanin' my soul"
its like he is facing the reality and making his anger go away by talking to him: (his father)
so i believe is about that but with words Example
"All the words that I come up with
They're like gasoline on flames
There's no excuse, no explanation
Believe me if I could undo what I did wrong
I'd give away all that I own"
its like he didn't mean all of those he got black and acted
that's my point of view of it
and i don't think is about man cheating or abusing because if you listen very closely to the song it does not make sense
like it says:
"take me for who i am
and not for who I've been"
