I think this son is about a break up. You still think about the other person, cuz you're still caught in their symmetry. The I'm not happier than you part is because sometimes, you feel so good about the break up or you make the other persona think that, but the truth is that you are not happier than the other person. Both of you are lying. The dream part is because sometimes you have conversations with the other person where there are not hurtful words. Besides all the ugly things that happened, all the horrible thing that were said, She's/he's always going to be that special person.

The part of the words, i think is about trying to convince you about something wrong. like maybe you still think you are in love, or maybe you think this is for the better when it's not. just that kind of ideas that came when you are in a break up, sometimes you are good sometimes you are bad, and you just can say what the hell you feel like. The part about truly worst, I think it's about after the break up, when you know they are fine w/out you and you justa have to accept that the worst thing that you can feel about it, is going to be true. like maybe the other person is dating someone, or maybe that fear you had while in the relationship is actually true, and its easier to accept the worst just so you don't end heartbroken. The end is about how the other person just lose all the respect they had for the other person. like saying horrible thing about the other, and stuff, and how easy is for the other to just move on, to forget, to let go, and how the other person still see 'em as the best, most beautiful thing ever and very ironically.
