The carbonation in my drink
The bubbles rise while my heart sinks
And I'll I tend to do is think of you
Was it easier to pack your bags
And book that flight to Paris as
The plane began to move that afternoon
When all the trains have pulled away
From local stations in decay
It's I who waits, it's you who's late again
And did you think of me when you made love
To him, was it the same as us
Or was it different, it must have been
And all the pretty dames
They'll hug and kiss you all the same
And when they go, they're gone
They're not run-ning late
Oh all, all the pretty dames
And the kids you hold in your arms
With promises to protect them from harm
But they grow, and they go
And you're all alone
All the kids, all the kids that you hold
And it's a shame that it ends this way
With nothing left to say
So just sit on your hands, while I walk away
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
When my hands begin to shake
When bitterness is all I taste
And my car won't stop
'Cause I cut the brakes
I hold on to a hope in my fate
Oh oh ah ah hey hey
May you return to love one day
Well I hope and I pray
You get what you gave
Oh oh ah ah hey hey
The bubbles rise while my heart sinks
And I'll I tend to do is think of you
Was it easier to pack your bags
And book that flight to Paris as
The plane began to move that afternoon
When all the trains have pulled away
From local stations in decay
It's I who waits, it's you who's late again
And did you think of me when you made love
To him, was it the same as us
Or was it different, it must have been
And all the pretty dames
They'll hug and kiss you all the same
And when they go, they're gone
They're not run-ning late
Oh all, all the pretty dames
And the kids you hold in your arms
With promises to protect them from harm
But they grow, and they go
And you're all alone
All the kids, all the kids that you hold
And it's a shame that it ends this way
With nothing left to say
So just sit on your hands, while I walk away
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
When my hands begin to shake
When bitterness is all I taste
And my car won't stop
'Cause I cut the brakes
I hold on to a hope in my fate
Oh oh ah ah hey hey
May you return to love one day
Well I hope and I pray
You get what you gave
Oh oh ah ah hey hey

The last two verses definitely sound as if the man has given up on her. He is filled with so much hate towards the woman. He decides to cut the breaks from his car than to go on living without her. Finally it ends with him bitterly hoping that someday she will love someone who will do the same thing to her that she did to him.
Although extremely disheartening, what a wonderful song, lyrically.
In spite of all of this, he holds on to his faith that she will one day get what she gave. That one day, she will actually mean the words she speaks and when she gives herself over to love, he hopes that her love leaves her the way she left him.
lol but like i said, I hope you're right because my interpretation is slightly more depressing.
