Lyric discussion by Ohsoscattered 

This song is about abusive relationships. Whether it be between a parent and child, a boyfriend and girlfriend or any other derivative of these scenarios, and whether the abusive be sexual, physical or verbal, the victim hates how they are being treated, but has this irrational love for whoever is treating them that way. This song is about the confusion caused by these conflicting feelings within the victim.

Nah...I don't think so. It's not a painful enough song to be about an abusive relationship. It lacks despair and pain and anger. It's about a relationship where for some reason the magnets often repel each other and it drives the person nuts. There's an energy they apparently share and their differences, at times, do not complement the other well. So there's tension, but always beneath that rough surface is a love that apparently just won't die. That's what is so frustrating...when you want to hate someone and kick them to the curb, but you know that as nutty as...

Remember the song "You Always Hate the One You Love" ? You can't have hate w/o love. Indifference is the real killer.

@Ohsoscattered is definitely right. The video pretty much shows exactly that abusive relationship theme in different contexts. "wholelottawoman" missed the mark.
