A casual fling gone wrong. It was intense from the start and even though he warned her not to get too attached, he dared her to come a little closer. She threw her hands in the air and walked like the lamb to the slaughter. At the start they play this cat and mouse game, daring each other not to have feelings but eventually she caves. She doesn't want to need him and it terrifies her how much she does, but there's nothing she can do now. Even though the "relationship" is killing her, she can't let it go - she wants him to stay.
Despite his best efforts, he cares about her too but he can't give her the love she so desperately needs. Because the irony is that he's just as damaged as she is. He can't let anyone in but she tries and tries because in those tiny insignificant moments when he does, she sees the man he could be if he'd only stop pushing her away.
That's what she clings onto. And people look at her like she's crazy and at times she thinks maybe she has gone fucking crazy but nobody can see what she sees. She sees what's buried deep in his heart behind the bitterness and the anger and she loves him for it.
"It's not much of a life your living" - This works both ways. She says it to him because even though he seems happy, she thinks he's lying - how can anyone be truly happy alone? It's not much of life she's living because she stays in this destructive relationship holding onto the scraps of his affection, hoping that one day he'll come around to her way of thinking.
"The reason I hold on, Cause I need this hole gone"
One of the saddest lines in the song. She' saying I am so overwhelmingly lonely without you it kills me. There's a giant hole in my life when you're not around, and that's the reason I hold on. It's not for the good times we've had it's actually because I feel like I cannot live without you. I feel empty.
"Funny you're the broken one when I'm the only one needed saving" - She's bitter. He was supposed to be the one to save her but the irony is he's just as damaged as she is. It's ironic, they both need saving but it can't happen because they're both as lost as each other.
She's saying, I give up trying to pretend and to fight it and even though you don't want to hear it, I don't feel complete without you. So she doesn't care, she'll take the abuse. Even though she knows he can't give her what she needs, she wants him to stay. Even though it kills her, she wants him to stay. That's enough - for him just to stay.
