From the recording Circle Of Love
The song describes a tumultuous relationship characterized by frequent arguments, blurred boundaries, and a cycle of breaking up and making up. The speaker expresses a desire to end the relationship due to complications, a feeling of being better off alone, and the pain that love brings. The speaker also feels unjustly blamed and manipulated by the other person. The core message is that "she has problems of her own," which seems to be a significant factor in the relationship's difficulties.
Lyrics
WE FIGHT LIKE CATS
MAKE UP LIKE DOGS
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
WE TRIED TO ESTABLISH OUR BOUNDARIES
BUT STEPPED OVER THE LINE
DON’T POINT YOUR FINGER AT ME
‘CAUSE 3 POINT BACK TO YOURSELF
DON’T TRY TO PUT ALL THE BLAME
ON SOMEONE ELSE
I DON’T WANT TO COMPLICATE THINGS
WE ARE BETTER OFF ALONE
FORGET LOVE AND ALL THE HATE IT BRINGS
SHE HAS PROBLEMS OF HER OWN
....AND SO IT BEGINS
TO ADD INSULT
TO INJURY
YOU WANT TO KISS AND MAKE UP
I WANT TO BREAK UP THIS
YOU TWIST THINGS ‘ROUND
SO THAT IT’S ALWAYS MY FAULT
AND THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE
YOU RUB THE WOUND WITH SALT
I DON’T WANT TO COMPLICATE THINGS
WE ARE BETTER OFF ALONE
FORGET LOVE AND ALL THE HATE IT BRINGS
SHE HAS PROBLEMS OF HER OWN
