Imaginary enemy doesn't pertain to just a selfish, ungrateful girl. This song describes my ex-boyfriend down to a tee. The singer is expressing how their partner has turned them into an enemy suddenly because they are very ungrateful of the other person in the relationship.
The partner dumping the other person treats the "dumpee" as a disease, burden, responsiblity, nuisance etc.
The singer notices that their partner has a simliar pattern in life - "All you saw was the burden standing beside all your blessed truths disguised in all you alibis It's a tradition practiced every time you say goodbye" - Once they get tired of being in a relationship the person lies and comes up with excuses, they've also done this in the past with other relationships possibly because its a "tradition" or sorta always ends up happening.
"I've tried so hard to be what you needed" - the other person in the relationship tries so very hard to be exactly what their partner needs but..they can't seem to live up to them..
So once the relationship ends..."I've tried for so long to make you believe it that I am not the enemy" -the person being dumped tries to convince their partner that they aren't the problem or their "enemy".
