I think this song indicates that, when it comes to relationships, she's something of a self fulfilling prophecy. She thinks that no relationship lasts forever and that relationships eventually hurt (think of the pain in 'Family Portait'), so she pushes him away- as a self preservation type thing. She hurts him before he can hurt her, if you like. She thinks that if she keeps him at arms length, she won't get as hurt when he leaves. The man never intended to leave, and loved her, but her treatment of him causes him to leave thus confirming her belief that all things end and relationships hurt. She uses him as an easy target- someone to treat badly and who will put up with it. Deep down, she doesn't want to be alone, but is so afraid of being hurt that she hurts the ones who love her the most.
'I forgot to say aloud, how beautiful you really are to me', says to me that she really adored him- but couldn't make herself vulnerable enough to put her true feelings out there. An important lesson, don't treat the people you love like crap, or they will leave, and you'll have done it to yourself. :)
thank you, perfect description of Bordeline Personality Disorder ... what Pink is afflicted with and the meaning behind 90% of her songs. "I hate you, don't leave me"
