You're so careless, careless
How did you get so ungrateful?
You treat me like I'm a disease and it's been killing me
Chances are, you never even cared at all
I'm sure you had your reasons but I'll never get to hear
The truth disguised in all your alibis
It's a tradition practiced
Every time you say goodbye
I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy
Slipshod cavalier
I can't stand to see those things that
you have taken for granted
thrown away everything you've been handed
Too much all at once that's how you got so ungrateful
All you saw was the burden
standing beside all your blessed truths
disguised in all you alibis
It's a tradition practiced
every time you say goodbye
I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy
imaginary enemy

thinking this song is about how he's with a girl that he completely adores and does everything for but she just doesn't seem to take notice of how much he cares and just sees all his flaws, she has probably left him a few times or threatened too ..."All you saw was the burden,...,It's a tradition practiced,every time you say goodbye"... she sees him as just something in her way/ all she can see him as is an enemy, which is in his opinion is an imaginary enemy, because he actually in truth, cares for her idk just my take on it, not sure if it made much sense lol
I agree completely. That was my very first thought. It's easy to see the meaning when it has happened to you =/
