Pretty straightforward. It's about someone who is dealing with the pain of rejecting a friends romantic overtures. Likely someone they care a great deal about, and while part of them might like to, they can't give them what they want.
"Three words you have spoken,
don't make me a fool.
as a gesture, a token
please play by the rules."
The friend in loves declares their feelings, and the object of there affection is asking them to stay within the boundary of their friendship.
"if i knew a way out,
from breaking your heart.
was it free for the taking?
to tear it apart?
to tear you apart?"
They wish they could avoid it, but they know that there is only one possible outcome - breaking their friends heart.
"there can be no mistaking,
tell me quick as you can.
'cause i'm so tired faking."
They don't want to pretend that things are ok when it is obvious they are not. Better to just get it over with and not prolong the suffering.
