Amazing, beautifully written song. Obviously Holden Caulfield is the main character from The Catcher In the Rye. This song parallels him perfectly...in the book he is so focused on pointing out everyone's flaws and fakeness, yet he himself turns out to be the most fake of them all.
It seems in this song he's trying to end a relationship by basically saying "I never wanted this in the first place." But really what it was was that he didn't do anything to prevent it from getting that far (the line "cause i'm a fake and i've led you on for way too long"). He blames it on the other person, yet it was just as much his fault.
I don't know, just my opinion. I'm sure there's more to it then that but I don't feel like writing anymore :/
