He certainly did earn that reputation.
Broken, this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just wanna tell you so you know
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
But there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only
My only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when your gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only
My only one
Here I go
So dishonestly
Leave a note
For you, my only one
And I know
You can see right through me
So let me go
And you will find someone
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There's just no one, no one like you
You are my only
My only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only
My only one
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just wanna tell you so you know
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
But there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only
My only one
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when your gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only
My only one
Here I go
So dishonestly
Leave a note
For you, my only one
And I know
You can see right through me
So let me go
And you will find someone
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go
There's just no one, no one like you
You are my only
My only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only
My only one

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
