The singer knows he'll never be with the girl/guy (well, it never said...)
I like the part that says:
I had another set of words to use instead of what I'm singing here
The rhymes were intricate and every line was filled with alliteration and the best poetic tricks
It demonstrated just how clearly I'm the perfect guy for you to hear
But in reality perfection isn't really what we want so we just throw words at the page
And we call it a masterpiece if any part of it sticks
Maybe it refers to how poetry is often forced, lacking true meaning. His simple words of love mean much more.
What a great song. You know why? It's simple :P

Regardless... He gets by.
