This song is definitely about two people in a relationship. One of them is just in the relationship because they think the other one is a charity case. Case in point: "I'd be your good deed for the day". But then, the relationship ends badly because this person is trying to constantly change their partner. And then, of course, "I can be your boyfriend, and you can pretend not to know me." It's very sad, if you think about it like that. This one guy, who thinks he's in love, and this girl is just going out with him because she thinks he needs her help.
