These lyrics really are hard to gauge. I think the writer is, more than anything, expressing indifference towards whoever he is lying to. He acknowledges that he is in some sort of relationship with this person, but at the same time, he is indifferent to their feelings, and is fully aware of his lack of compassion towards this individual. If I had to guess I'd say that these lyrics were intended to be read by that individual in the hopes that they would leave the writer because he is caring just enough that he won't end things with this person himself.
