I don't think this is a clear cut song and I think embodies a relationship.
There is a lot of complex emotions in relationships. "The feeling that you ain't faking" can represent either insecurity or a feeling of being in love with someone who is disingenuous, which sits well with the "a lover's promise never came with a maybe".
"After all the pain you caused me. Making up could never be your intention". There is a feeling of being disingenuous again.
He tried to make her feel jealous or lash out out of hurt, as almost a response to the feeling he felt inside. Then there is regret at making her feel jealous. Maybe as he tried to cling to the relationship and reflecting on whether he was at fault.
I've been there, to love, and to feel hurt, to cheat and emotionally distance yourself, to regret. To wish deep down to be loved but not feeling that. It captivates a very complex relationship and set of feelings.
