Unraveling Lyrics

This song means a lot to me. The person in the story is 'unravelling' or going crazy, possibly because of a lost love (you never get your old skin back once you have loved like that). The person they loved is 'inside you' and the person speaking is urging them to 'cut him out' or permanently force him out of his or her life. I get the sense that there isn't much time left before the person unravels entirely...
