Wow, I'm surprised that no one has commented on this amazing song yet. I think this song is about ending a distructive relationship. Even though she asks to be used, you can tell she is sick of being walked all over by this mystery lover. This song, even though it is about having the courage to pick up and leave a bad relationship, even if it means loosing everything you have, is still really sad. The abuse in the relationship makes it so she doesn't trust anyone, and thinks that everyone will be the same as this guy. Poor poor girl (Or should I say Shirly?).
