It's strange...it sounds at first as though this person who has shown up is dragging her down, is hurting her in some way or distressing her. But then at the end she says that her heart was so beaten down BEFORE this person came around. So, did he (assuming this is a love song...could be a song about a parent who left and then resurfaced, etc.) cause her pain, or was she in pain and now he's uplifting her?
It reminds me of that one person all of us "falls in love with" when we are so young in high school, and everytime that person shows up in class or wherever, it's like it reminds us of how desperate we are in wanting to be with them and it hurts, but yet it makes us excited and happy at the same time when they show up. That mixture of excitement and anxiety...or as Ethan Hawke says in the movie Gattaca, "I never realized how far away I was from my dream than when I was standing right beside it."

Great song.
