I understand what this song is talking about... I feel the same way with this guy right now.

It's about a guy who has a girl whom he cares so much for, but things are always wrong when they are together. And there's always something keeping them apart romantically.
Despite that, she's told him that she cares for him {"Maybe I'm just another one of her lies..."}. Since things are always bad, he doesnt know what to believe anymore. His friends want him to move on and get over her, but because he cares so much for her, he just can't give up on her. There's something that always pulls him back to her. Deep in his heart, he knows that its wrong for him, and he knows he's going to get hurt over and over again {"We're right back in the water..."}, but he just can't (or wont) give up.
