You nailed it, Outlaw. Though I do have a few other ideas that are different.

I think this is about an ending relationship.

"Some of the ugliest things Took the longest time to make And some of the easiest habits Are the hardest ones to break..."

I think line is basically talking about the whole relationship in general. It took a long time to get as far as they did, but it turned out ugly in the end.

"And I'm not asking for value Nor the pain But I am asking For a way out of this lie..."

He doesn't want the pain, he just wants out. Though I think it means that the relationship has become a lie, I think it also means that she's been lying to him in some way.

"Your feeding your ego With what you can see outside And you're killing yourself For not speaking your mind..."

She felt something was wrong with the relationship, and he sensed that, but she lied and wouldn't speak her mind, and she's killing herself and him.

"I will not justify your ways I cannot show you an escape I do not know you any more I never knew you anyway..."

Self explanatory. She stabbed him in the back, and it's now as though he never knew her.

This is basically an exact, on the friggin' nose description of what happened to me just a week ago. Actually, a week ago tomorrow. She stabbed me in the back, but it's now as though I never knew the girl.
