I'm gonna have to disagree with Burtonite. It's perfectly possible that you could be right, in fact you probably are. I just see it differently.

This song sounds extremely sarcastic to me. It sounds like Phil poured out his heart to a girl, but she turned away because she didn't believe him. He is completely broken, and wonders why in the world she wouldn't believe what he said.

"Don't believe a word For words are so easily spoken Your heart is like a promise Made to be broken"

He's angry here, but he's covering his anger up with sarcasm. Like, "Of course, that's what I meant. I never really liked you. I just liked hurting you." He can't understand why she doesn't see that he doesn't mean to hurt her.
