These lyrics are pretty rough in my opinion haha. Really good lyrics, but harsh! As others have said, I take this as directed towards a specific person who he's involved with whose affection he actually finds pretty annoying. He's being a bit of a dick and acknowledging this; "I don't always tell the truth", "I don't only think of you", "my love is cruel", "why would I long for you?" etc.
He's basically saying; I wish you didn't miss me and care about me so much, because I know that I have eyes for other people sometimes. However, it's not too big a deal for him because he isn't leaving this person. He's essentially just settling to be with a person and carry on feeling how he does, and just admit that his love is cruel in the process.
