I think the song is about a relationship between a guy and his more troubled girlfriend. It's about loving someone despite his/her flaws and shortcomings and perhaps also despite trauma coming in between the relationship. In the song, the guy states that loving the person is a "bloodsports" in it that it's hard because sometimes the demons meaning the "back" of the person is stacked against the working out and blossoming. Though the guy willingly admits he's not in it for the fight but because he loves her, he also understands that loving her includes getting by with the ups and downs of her moods and demons - the people who "hurt" her are not mentioned but the interpretations are numerous here.
