I think it's sort of a stream of consciouness of a tormented young man. I think he's fallen in love with someone who he shouldn't/can't/doesn't really want to. Hence the "do me a favour and break my nose/Do me a favour and tell me to go" He's just saying he wants the subject of the song to do something to make him hate her, to give him an excuse to leave.
"As she walked away
Well her shoes were untied
And the eyes were all red
You could see that we'd cried"
I think this is just her running out on hi as he tries to get her to make him hate her. their both crying because neither wants to part, but both feel it's necessary
