I think he knows he's a "bad" person and looks to a "good" woman to fix him. Or at least, this is what he SAYS to either apologize for his past behavior or to win her over despite her knowledge of his problem. He wants her to
Show me your ways
Teach me to meet my desires
With some grace
Please police me
I want you to police me
But ultimately he's a cheater. He takes advantage of her.
Strong as you seem
Old as you behave
You will always obey
Domestic spree
A seething routine I could never navigate
Well maybe I like to stray
He rationalizes that his infidelity or other misbehavior is OK because she knows about it and lets it go. So by the end of the song he has not been fixed, he has won her over. They have settled into a relationship where she chooses not to confront him over his problem but can't look him in the eye because of it.
No harm it seems to be less so free, not today
It's like you want it that way
All that I see
Is peaceful eyes drawn away from me
Drawn away from me
