It can actually be interpreted as how sometimes we are stuck in a hurtful situation, say your life is a mess, everyone is hurting you but you seek solace in the one who is hurting you less.

It’s like how you are desperate to find comfort/love that you reduce it to traces of it that you can find in your life and define it as such.

Or it could also mean that…

You might be hurting at the hands of those you love but still you forget the pain because of how much you love them.

Damn! 😭
