I think the song is about relationship in which is spark/honeymoon has passed. She is painfully aware of the fact that the relationship is no longer fulfilling, but continues to hold on (rather than leave), because it still provides some feelings of comfort. She "needs a little love to ease the pain", but the love and the pain and inexorably related. So she thinks back to the past, when the love was more fulfilling ("It's easy to remember when it came"), but is painfully aware that this does not suffice ("I could fake it but I still want more").
I am a man, but have felt similar to what is being described. It is a difficult place to be in. Sex and other forms of intimacy provide an escape, but ultimately lead deeper into obsessive, addictive, destructive behavior.
We all long to be loved, and getting a taste of it feels so good, that you don't want to let go of it, even when you know it's gone (dissolved).
@Epiphany2000 I have very similar view on this song. For me it's more about relationship which ends and turn into friendship but one side ( in this song its the girl who sings ) can't leave, can't get over it and still wants the attention the other person gives her so called ' love '
