Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
What did you expect?
Fools often sometimes forget
Who really knows what's the truth
Often dignified
How funny changing the tide
Feels like you already knew
(Praise) like the devil
(Connect) you would never
(Sick Man) running circles
Feels like you already knew
(Praise) like the devil
(Connect) you would never
(Sick Man) running circles
Feels like you already knew
Save you
I would never
Deny you
Even though your hate for me is strong
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
Prise
(Afraid to open your eyes)
And now you realize
Always you lived in a dream
How would it feel if you could
See past the lies
Oblivious to all of my cries
No hope when I knew that you could
Save you
I would never
Deny you
Even though your hate for me is strong
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
(See) I'm not what you
(Think) I'm the one who'll
(Be) what you never
Thought would be nothin' and now
Thought would be nothin' and now
Thought would be nothin' and now

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This is the song that got me into Sevendust like 5 years ago. It seems like Lajon's talking to someone who never believed in him and now he's up high. God that man is one of my idols.
