This song seems to be about a man who no longer loved his wife or girlfriend.
“I found her crying in the morning
Sitting in a chair
She was wrapping something up
And wrapping it with care”
This line could mean that she was wrapping a rope to hang herself. She was devastated and heartbroken when she found out her husband or boyfriend doesn’t love her anymore.
“I did not mean to hurt her
When I fell asleep last night
I was just exhausted
From the act of being polite”
The narrator fell asleep while having sex. He usually pretends to be happy and in the mood when having sex but this time he simply felt “Exhausted from the act of being polite”. When he acted polite to his wife he would pretend to be interested in her. He couldn’t keep up the act for very long and fell asleep.
“Yes, I was just exhausted
From the act of being polite”
The narrator says this a second time implying that it is very important for the listener to know.
