I think this song is about a girl who he's been chasing or is in a shallow relationship with. she wont give him all of herself but just enough to keep him hanging on..and they do share close moments:

You may be a friend But you're not my relation But you're the only person I ever knew

He is trying to say she should open her eyes and see that hes a good guy but hes frustrated with her selfish actions:

Give me a chance I'd show you what I could do You're in a trance And I'm not so fond of you

he is trying so hard but is having difficulty forming a normal relationship with her. And after all, of course, the girl is selfish:

There is a wind That blows in the northern skies Holding me back No matter how hard I try If I had the sense I'd leave here tomorrow I wouldn't even bother to say goodbye

and

Would you lie to me If you thought I was wrong You deserted me When it all went wrong
