I don't think this is about an argument with a girlfriend. "Why don't you call me what we both know I am," implies that he's in an argument, yes, but that the arguments have started hitting below the belt, and that the antagonist is skirting around a topic that the singer has never made explicit, but is unashamed of.
I personally interpret this song as the narrator being gay, and having an argument with a family member or close friend. And the antagonist is getting dangerously close to calling the narrator a faggot. (What we both know I am.)

I don't think faggot is the word. I believe he is saying pussy at the end of the song.
