This song is about the frustration that comes with being in love with someone, and knowing that they toy with your feelings despite their denial of any wrong doing. Using your love as revenge is to simply force the affection and yearning you feel inside onto the opposing side, until they eventually give into your defense. Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" is about the same subject, which is why I sampled portions of that song into this one.
