It seems to be about someone who doesn't have much self-worth. They've fallen in love, but maybe don't give themselves fully to it, or question it - the why me - even though it's clear the two are supposed to be together. And maybe they fear hurting the person they're in love with (blood on my hands with every kiss) or think hurt is inevitable. So they're hesitant. But the love is definitely real. Speaking from experience - I hope people who feel this way know that pulling away hurts just as much if not more than hurt that might come from staying. Hurt from absence at this point is guaranteed, hurt from presence - who knows, it's uncertain. But you gotta work through your demons to be able to embrace the fact that our presence can be a gift to others.

@cchr9ts Well written interpretation. I couldn't agree more.
