the second verse to me is saying that the girl has been slowly digging her grave. the verse addresses an issue that is happening very often in the world; highschool and college girls getting knocked up due to their own choices and then getting engaged to the father who is not the best choice for a husband. and when tensions thicken between the couple the "insane" husband starts beating her. the mother of the child then flees. when he wraps up the verse i am not sure what he means by "i check the cover of a magazine". perhaps he is reading about her story on the magazine or another story of the same that was on the magazine and when he saw it he was reminded of the girl he sings about in his verse. anyway, the girl had essentially set herself up to get hurt, and put herself between a bullet and a target.
