Its for sure about abuse! He took a swing, I took it hard and now shes lying on the ground and finally sees who he is. She knows he has a mean streak, but she still loves him when he's sweet and kind. The person that she first knew. And she knows that he has control over the abuse and knows what he's doing, all she wants to know is why he's doing it. And finally, thankfully, luckily, in the end she realizes that she has to let him go, because it's not going to stop. It never does.
