Great lyrics, great production; love the up-tempo section of the song.
"The truth is hard to swallow when you're choking on your pride" is one of my favourite ever lyrics.

I dont think that the way the song is written is a try to compare with Jim, he just tried to write something in the typical Meat Loaf style, and naturally, that IS Jim Steinman.
Btw, when I heard this the first times, I always heard:
"The truth is hard to swallow when you're choking on your bride"
