I'm surprised no one has commented this song already, it is one of my personal favourites. To me this song is about someone who is in love with someone who doesn't share the same feelings. The love interest is honest, to the point of brutality, but the lover is desperate for his affections, even if they are false. (S)he would rather live in a lie than to be without him, even if they are so completely different, like vinegar and oil. I can really relate to this on a very personal level, having fallen for someone so completely different from me in almost every aspect, and completely out of my usual taste. And I still think it would be better if he were lying to me, if only for a little while, than to never experience him at all.
