I think it's about liking someone way out of your league so to speak, and feeling really stupid about it. Not necessarily unrequited love, just the perception thereof.
"Daniella" may or may not return his feelings, but he feels unworthy of her attention. He's too shy to approach her so he just convinces himself she doesn't love him and beats himself up over it, as seen in the second verse...
Your black hair is like black hair
Mine I promise is a jerk's hair
Your acne is like a pearl
Mine I swear is a brimstone
They both have acne, but while her imperfections are beautiful to him, his are just more reasons for her to not like him.
