Wow I'm amazed people think so differently about this song than I do.
This song is about a divorced man and his relationship with his ex-wife.
The money issues are about him sending child support payments and giving half of everything he owns to her post divorce. Also the "money is the root of all that kills" is a line about Art's new found money after having a big album.
The guy in the song is very depressed (can you believe he actually thinks I am really alive) and apparently so is the ex (you say you wake up crying).
The thing that really tugs at my heart in this song is that this girl doesn't give two craps about him anymore and he still wants to take away her pain. It's such a sweet love song to a woman that doesn't love him back. He's like I would get rid of all of your pain. If it could be bought I will buy it for you.
He's so sick in his love for her he even begs to have her just for one more night.
Art's songs are so great because they come from his actual life. He's had a tough life. He's helped me get through so many though things in my own life. Thanks Art!
I totally agree with your opinion as well. In fact, this is one of my favorite songs because it reminds me so much of myself towards my last girlfriend. I'm a sucker, and would still do anything for her, even though she does not share that feeling toward me.

I agree. That's how I've always taken it.
