This song is about Justins mother (which is why he put in her message from his answering machine in the beganing). His mother had ALWAYS been there for him this song shows how much his mother loved him and cared about him. He remembers and knows how much pain he caused his mother but no matter what he did she was always there for him. He is saying that she was the only person that continued to be there and he knows he hurt her. He wants her to hate him so he cant cause her anymore pain.
Really this song can describe anyone and their situation. Everyone has or has had at least one person who was by their side no matter what, no matter how much pain they were put through. Someone that is your shoulder and a person you run to when things go wrong. And at one point everyone who has had that, wants the other person just to forget about them hate them so they cant do anything more to them.
