I think it's about a relationship that isn't really going anywhere.
When he says "She can wait for what I can give" its like he's saying that he's sure she will, and she should, wait for him to commit, no matter what. Then he says "she knows what I am but she won't believe me", I kind of think of this as him trying to tell her that he's no good for her, but she doesn't want to accept it.
"Is that all okay? Will I come off the lightest?" - he's asking if she will accept him or move on; will she find someone 'lighter' or just be 'okay' with him? Then "I can't believe it, it's always like this"; she's picked him again, and he can't believe she has.
He then goes on to say they kept the topic "at bay", so they aren't addressing any of their problems, and "it's there on your mouth... but that's not what I heard" could be him knowing she's thinking about moving on or talking, but that's not what she ever says in the end.
"I'm not whole, you waste it all" - he isn't satisfied. Staying in the relationship is a 'waste'.
"You know what I am... you try to look proud but you're not in the slightest" - she tries to love him for what he is, or at least she pretends to, but he knows she doesn't really.
"It's happening now and it's always been like this", I think this could either be just for the whole of this relationship, or maybe for other ones as well. Kind of like there have always been people who stay in relationships because they don't want to not be in a relationship, not because they love the other person. Because they are scared of being alone. I think that's the whole point of the song, staying in a dead end relationship even though you aren't happy.
So, yeah, that's my long winded explanation for this. It's a good song, not my personal favourite but good all the same.
Huumm… “she can wait for what I can give” to me means she doesn’t want him but needs his company.

Then “she knows what I am but she won’t believe me” to me is him questioning himself because of this “she knows I’m a good guy, she hangs out with me all the time, but I’m trying to prove this all the time but she already knows who I am”

She doesn’t want to commit but also doesn’t want to let him go… so my view in the opposite.

You seem to take...
You seem to take one word and use it in its own context.
“I’m not whole” meaning he’s feeling empty from it
“You waste it all” meaning she losing all the good that can be in this emotionless limbo, because it effects him, so who is is, his good and light, is fading from it, the thing he’s trying to prove even though she knows it’s there, she’s just not into that, she’s into something else.
There’s then moments where she plays the role to like him for who he is so notices her try to look proud but knows she’s not looking for this…
Then it “always being like this” is this never ending friendzone he ends up in, because he isn’t looking for the same as him… he keeps trying to gas up someone who got no love for him, in return, he endured getting gaslighted…
The chirpy part of the melody is like the jump into the false hope that in itself is it’s own hope… the part of himself knowing himself, the part he’s proven to himself… that party a lot of people don’t care about, but there are people out there that do
