Since nobody else has posted, I'll try to start it off! But this is all just from my head, and I may get it totally wrong!
I think what she's saying in all the bits like
"Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last
Like I'm the one for you"
is that she wants him to say he's in love with her and all that - she wants real, stong feelings from him.
BUT, she knows he's a player, and that actually it'll never last. Therefore her emotions and feelings for him keep switching from wanting him to be serious about it and feeling like she really loves him, to knowing that he's a player, and then trying to be strong and saying that he doesn't mean that much to her either. Hence the bit that goes
"You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This is not rooted with you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me" - she knows the truth really and is trying to be strong, and make herself believe he doesn't mean that much to her.
She knows that the truth is that he's a player and that he's not that serious, but still she always comes back to the fact that she WANTS it to be real, and that her hope keeps her illusions of love going -
"But, despite the truth that I know
I find it hard to let go and give up on you
Seems I love the things you do
Like the meaner you treat me the more eager I am
To persist with this heartbreak and running around
And I think that I know things may never change
I'm still hoping one day I might hear you say
I make you feel a way you've never felt before
............."
I think the reason I think it's about this is becasue I'm in that situation right now - being with someone who you know is just having fun and isn't feeling anything strong and serious for you, but you want it to be more, but really deep down you know the truth and try to make yourself think like they are and not being so serious.
However, I could be completely wrong?! I hope when Adele's album comes out next year she becomes really successful cos I think her songs are amazing :)
