After analyzing it a bit I think this song is about how Ronnie lost a good friend or girlfriend of his (not Max) and how he didn't want to believe his "old friend" was gone.
This is the worst time you will ever see
And down your throat goes the insecurities
So watch me, I leave room to follow
So tell me old friend is this hard to swallow?
(I think in this verse his friend went through a rough time/incident and Ronnie understands that his friend is going through a tough time and wants to help him/her get out of it)
Please just see so selfishly as you are
This isn't as bad as before
I keep it simple, I tried so hard
You hurt me....you hurt me
(I think the chorus reflects on how he tried to help his friend, but the friend just shut him down and thought nothing of his help)
This ones not for the radio
This one is to let you know
(Ronnie's saying here that he only wants his old friend to see this song. He doesn't care if anyone else sees it)
Tell that bastard you have as a father he should have taught you a bit of honor
(Ronnie again is talking about how is friend shut him down and that his/her parents should've taught him/her how to be more respectful, and loving to those who try to help him)
Please don't leave (go)
(Here he's saying he wants his old friend back, and not this selfish new one)
Please just see so selfishly as you are
This isn't as bad as before
I keep it simple, I tried so hard
You hurt me
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
I'd never expect, I'd never of thought, you would have turned out this way
(This is pretty self explanatory, he's saying that he would've never thought his friend would act the way he's acting)
(We can see it coming)
When everything is broken
We’ve got to get this fixed right now
You seem so distant
You seem so distant
We thought that we could get along
(He's saying we have to patch this relationship before it's too late)
I'd never of thought, I'd never expect that things would turn out this way
I'd never of thought, I'd never expect that things would turn out this way
(Again, self explanatory, their friendship/relationship ended in an unexpected matter)
Everything is perfect
(When all the fighting is over between them, life is seemingly "perfect")
