Lyric discussion by kisstheshadows 

To me it's a relationship break down, the ex-girlfriend has been told tales which inevitably ended the relationship, whist going through a rough patch, the man finds himself making unreasonable excuses for things that the lies where told on which are innocent things maliciously altered or maybe just not true. He drinks.
The person telling lies is a mutual “friend” the mutual friend then becomes her lover after breaking the relationship. He sees them together and realises what has happened perhaps in the local pub, while drunk causes a scene, they fight and he gets beaten up.

I love his song, it's very dark. There is certainly a malicious element.

Yes, that's pretty much how I perceived it... I once had a girl, that forced me to be the envy of many, and people told blatant LIES about me, and sometimes her, to try to force the breakup. All malicious intent.

The 'stop me' part, was likely the painful outpouring he had due to this, and thus, he knew many had cried these feelings / words before, from many people.

The injury stuff, I'm not yet decided on, but the drinking part goes hand-in-hand with feeling this way.
