'There's a fire starting in my heart, reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.' - Fire represents anger, fever pitch represents the hottest point of the fire, making her even more angry, and it brings her out of this sad place, known as the dark, where she was left confused as to what this man had done to her.

'Finally I can see you crystal clear, go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare.' - she can see this man's true colours and flaws. She becomes sick and tired of him manipulating her and cheating on her with other people, so asks him to try and play his typical sociopathic game with the vain hope of winning as she will have her revenge in the end.

'See how I leave with every piece of you, don't underestimate the things that I'll do.' - She's saying 'I am leaving you forever and I will also drain every single satisfaction you took out of playing with my mind and lying to me. And don't you dare think that my revenge is all a lie.'

'The scars of your love remind me of us, they keep me thinking that we almost had it all.' - She says 'You were perfectly capable of giving us this perfect relationship. However you just chose not to, for whatever sinister reasons you had.'

'The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling.' - Everytime she looks back on their togetherness, she gets emotional.

'Rolling in the deep' - I think she means everything that was going to be good about the relationship just went down the drain, into the depths of all the bad stuff he did.

'You had my heart inside of your hands, but you played it to the beat.' - She left her heart open for this man, who she thought she could trust, but he took it in his own hands and indulged in his own sociopathic games with it, IE manipulating her.

'Baby I have no story to be told, but I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn.' - She says that she isn't the main person who is in the wrong, it's actually him who did the dirt and she will expose all his deception and flaws for all that.

'Think of me in the depths of your despair, and make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared.' - She's saying - 'When you're alone, and you've given up every hope of getting back with me, remember me leaving and then you'll realise that you're the one in the wrong, not me. And now that you don't have me anymore, all that misery and pain that I once felt is all yours and there is no chance you will get back together with me.'

'Throw your soul through every open door' - She says 'Try dating all the other girls out there.'

'Count your blessings to find what you look for' - When he sees the amount of girlfriends he's had, he'll find that her sacrifice won't match them.

'Turn my sorrow into treasured gold' - She says 'Everytime you feel the misery and despair that I once felt, I will treasure the moment.'

'Pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow.' - She says 'You'll get what's coming to you anyway, so prepare yourself because you will never be bailed out.'
