He certainly did earn that reputation.
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do do, do do (oh)
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you (goodbye to you)
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew (goodbye to you)
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to (the one thing that I tried to hold on to)
The one thing that I tried to hold on to (the one thing that I tried to hold on to)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
Do, do, do, do
Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do do, do do (oh)
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you (goodbye to you)
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew (goodbye to you)
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to (the one thing that I tried to hold on to)
The one thing that I tried to hold on to (the one thing that I tried to hold on to)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

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?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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 song reminds me of something I had to do to move on from this relationship with someone I call my Dark Elf (yeah he had pointy ears). That relationship was pure torture in the end so I had to say goodbye... Whenever I hear : "I want you, but I'm not giving in this time", I can't help thinking of everything we shared and also what was bad in our relationship...we loved each other but why should I get hurt because he can't face his problems at all?
