I always thought it was about a abusive relationship.There is love in your body but you can't hold it in
"Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts"
He does love her (kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts) but he can't stop himself from hurting her (tenderest of touch leaves the darkest of marks). He loves her but hurts her.
"There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste"
He does love her but can only say the mean things, only say the abusive things because he just doesn't know how to show he loves her.
"Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in"
She loves him and will always love him but she thinks she's a fool for staying with somebody who hurts her so badly and his love for her is "no excuse for the state I'm in" as in the abuse.
"There is love in our bodies and it holds us together
But pulls us apart when we're holding each other
We all want something to hold in the night
We don't care if it hurts or we're holding too tight"
They don't care if it hurts or that the jealousy that dominates abusive relationships is around because even though it's tearing them apart they believe it's also holding them together (as abusive qualities in relationships are often mistaken for romance and signs the other cares).
That's just what I've always thought anyways. Although I like a lot of the other interpretations too.

I fully support your interpretation. The second I heard the song, it sounded like an abusive relationship.
