I don't hold you down
And maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me

You are so correct. Many of Chris's songs are love themed but not being treated that well from the guy. Even in the love inspired "Say you love me" she throws down the ultimatum of "if you use me again, it will be the end of me" Songs like Over My Head, Never Make Me Cry fit that theme very well.
Then there are those songs like Ask Anybody where she is torn between love for someone and the way she is being treated.
