This is a great song, one of my favorites. If you pay close enough attention to the lyrics you see that the one singing does in fact love the person he's singing about. He says that he doesn't love her and he lies. He treats her badly and says those things because that's what she wants from him. If he let her know how much he really loved and cared for her she would leave. It's a twisted relationship. All of this is apparent in the following lines:
"If you knew how much I loved you, you would run away
But when I treat you bad it always makes you want to stay."
