I think this is about a guy whose girlfriend ended their relationship, and how he denies missing her to everyone around him, including her and wants her to tell her friends he's over it: "Tell em all...that I'm probably doing fine" and "the truth is, i'm asking you to lie". So he's pretending to move on, but inside he really does miss her and he's stuck on her. In the song I he's talking directly to his ex, cause he says at the end "tell em' anything you want to, just don't tell em' all the truth, i still need you, that's the truth..." and so on
