I'm not sure but I think this song is about Stevie Nicks. She had some issues with her boyfriend and she left him. Then she and Tom started making music together and maybe there was the idea that the two of them would get together. I don't know if they actually did get together but the thought of getting together was the something they don't talk about. Although Stevie left her boyfriend, she couldn't completely stop having feelings for him and that prevented her from a relationship with Tom. That's why she has to fight to be free and why she couldn't be in a relationship with Tom until she felt it to be true. He's basically saying she hasn't really suffered since she wasn't beaten or kidnapped but she needs to fight to be free of her emotional ties to her former boyfriend that caused her to live like a refugee.
