Uhh, okay. It'd be nice if everyone tried to learn a thing or two about proper grammar.... >_> At least we aren't flamers....

Anyway, here's my take on the song. It's the author's take on a pretentious relationship. Sort of like being together for the sake of being together.

"Trust all the things I tell you are true / Dress up in your best so I can be proud of you." --This is him sort of manipulating and using the other person. He thinks of their relationship as for show, and wants to just tote her around like a doll and control her because there's no love.

"And never believe I won't turn on you / And never believe I do this for you." --This is him saying that he doesn't give a damn about her. He could easily "turn on her" without regret because he's not playing along with this empty relationship for her sake.

"You're leading me on again / And I find it, yeah, I like it / And I'm reeling in awe for sure / Now I know it was given to me, given to me." --She's doing the same thing he is, playing along with a fake relationship and leading him on, but he likes it because it just proves that their relationship has no value or meaning. He's in awe at exactly how shallow and pretentious she is, sort of laughing at the entire relationship and the idea of her ever meaning anything to him. But now that he sees the truth, he can see that the relationship just sort of fell into his lap; he wasn't the one who started this.

"How I wish I could be rid of this *anyway / Make you regret and make you afraid of me." --Even though he's playing along, he wishes he could just break it off and not have to deal with her because he holds a little hatred toward her for how shallow and uncaring she is. He's not intent on revenge, but he still wants the gratification of making her feel like shit because he knows it's her fault too; she's just too vain to realize that.

"And never believe I do this for me / And never believe I'll do this gently." --This is him saying that he's not playing along for his sake; he's not trying to protect himself and pretend it means something. He's not going to be gentle about it, either, because he doesn't care if either of them get hurt. He's self-destructive enough to fuck them both over because he knows they're both vain.

"Can't believe in broken promises / And render conscious all of me / I'll tell you it's all for you / Then deny it." --He's not going to pussyfoot around it anymore and pretend they still care for each other. He won't try to keep it alive, or try to show her that he was sincere. He's going to blatantly lie to her and contradict himself because he doesn't care what happens anymore. The relationship is dead, and they both know they're faking it, so this is sort of his statement of "I'm going to be the one to end this now, as it should have ended long before we reached this point, but neither of us were willing to admit we were this vain. Well, here it is."
