I still interpret this song exactly as I did when I first heard it. It was 1993, I was 19, and in a dysfunctional relationship.
It did what all truly great songs do: which is be vague enough, and also use specific enough wording that the song relates exactly to you and your situation.
When I hear it even now, over 30 years later- I am catapulted back to my younger self. Crying over the unrequited love that this song helped me through.
