To me this sounds like a possessive relationship, potentially abusive. Basically one person wants to control the other. A healthy relationship is where you focus on what IS, not so much what you want it to be. So, if you're not aligning, have a conversation, and if it turns out you don't mesh well - part ways. The work you put in to make a relationship work is different from trying to make your partner fit your mould. Nobody likes to be controlled or pressured. The "tell me I don't care about you" part is particularly striking to me - exactly what an ex said to me. It was meant to guilt, and you can't guilt someone to love you, that shit is going to drive them away. Good on the singer for standing their ground. This song brings me so much catharsis.
