I believe this song is about the singer's battle with narcissism (perhaps a "shy" narcissist as opposed to a grandiose one). The singer is adept at causing drama in his relationships in order to elicit an emotional reaction from his partner, which gives his self esteem a boost. Ultimately though, his partner gets fed up and leaves.
"witchcraft seems to unload and say that you don't love me anymore" - despite reality, some unconscious force (the singer's narcissistic personality) makes him believe that his partner does not love him any more. It's not based in reality, it's the witchcraft of his sick brain.
"maybe one more about the team, try to improve the local scene, we ain't no good anymore" - the common relationship pattern with someone like the singer is one that starts explosively, a romance that feels all-consuming. However, quickly it devolves into dysfunction, a long series of selfish acts followed up "wake-up calls" where the narcissist promises that he can change and things will get better. But it doesn't last for long.
"wait 'til the truth sets in" - his partner will come to realize what's been going on soon enough...
"pay no attention to how we've been" - in the very next line the self-centered singer once again tries to convince his partner to try again, the up-swing side of the cycle
"you know that i thought too much of when i made my fatal mistake" - even though he has the perspective to see that he ruining yet another relationship, his mind convinces him that he's thinking too much about it, that it's not really his fault (and even worse, perhaps he is even proud of how well he created yet another situation of emotional manipulation). Commonly narcissists blame their destructive behavior patterns on anything and everything but themselves, and therefore resist any effort to change.
"hope for the consequence" - the narcissist feeds off of these dramatic, emotional situations. He wants the repercussions that will come from his selfish behavior.
"pretend that you hope that it's ok" - once again, hoping that his partner will forgive and allow the cycle to begin again
