One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin through
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I know,
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin through
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I know,
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am

"One more kiss could be the best thing, but one more lie could be the worse"
He thinks kissing her would make him love her, but continuing to lie digs him in a deeper hole.
"And all these thoughts are never resting, And you're not something I deserve"
His true feelings are eating away at him, and he's saying he doesn't deserve her because of his lies and deceit.
"In this world there's real and make believe, And this SEEMS real to me"
He's trying to convince himself that his relationship is real, but he knows that it isn't true ("And no matter how hard I try I can't escape these things inside I know")
"You love me but you don't know who I am"
Self-explanatory
"I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand"
He's leading a life of lies while ignoring his true feelings.
"you love me but you don't know who I am, So let me go, Let me go"
It'd be easier for her to break up with him than it would be for him to reveal the truth to her.
"One more kiss could be the best thing
And one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve"
- She still wants to be with him, and she doesn't want to lie to him anymore, but she's torn between telling him or not. She knows she doesn't deserve him.
"In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make-believe
This seems real to me"
- Whatever she does, she can't get him out of her head. But everything seems to be against her, and even though, she knows she loves him.
"You love me, but you don't know who I am - She knows he loves her, but he doesn't know everything about her
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand - This life I lead being, high school and where I stand being her job as a stripper [or something]
You love me, but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just let me go"
- Basically, she knows she doesn't deserve him, and even though she wants to be with him, he must let her go, because she thinks that if she knew about her secret, he wouldn't love her anymore.
"I dream we head to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing?
When I know what I'm going through"
- She dreams of a future with him, but she turns her back on loving him because this relationship is toxic. She knows what she's going through, as a stripper and doesn't what him to live such life.
"And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside
I know, I know
But all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows"
- She can't quit her job because, as shown in the video, she has a baby and must pay the babysitter. Somehow, he finds out about her job and about her baby.
So, basically, they love eachother, she's a stripper with a baby that hides her secret because she think he won't love her anymore and eventually he finds out about her job and the baby.
However I think there's another way to look at it.
To me when the singer says:
"You're not something I deserve"
I think he means that he deserves better.
He mentions
"You love me but don't know who I am"
TO me this means that the girl is saying whatever she can to make him believe there's something there between, kind of leading him on. This is further corroborated by
"In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make-believe
This seems real to me"
He wants to believe this all real but perhaps the girl he loves never makes an effort to find out what's really inside him and without that emotional connection he doubts she really cares about him. It's kind of like being in a relationship with someone who say they care for you but never really bother calling or emailing much or asking personal questions about you to show that they're interested in your life.
He wants to believe that there's hope for them but the way things are going his doubts creep up on him to make him believe other wise and this is shown by
I dream we head to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing?
When I know what I'm going through
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside
So basically he's torn up between staying and hoping for more out of this relationship but he feels that the girl is holding onto him till she finds someone better. And the thought of how she never tries to get to know the real him bothers him. All she does is say she loves him but her actions never bolster her words. So he's left saying
You love me, but you don't...
You love me, but you don't...
You love me, but you don't know who I am
That's my take on it.
"One more kiss could be the best thing
And one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve"
Clark has been Superboy for years, but he has never told Lana his secrets, thus he has been "lying" to her.He's always had thoughts of them being together, but his mission doesn't allow him to be with her.He doesn't "deserve" her.
"In my head there's only you now"
At the moment, she's all he is thinking about.
"This world falls on me"
This is actually thought to be a reference to Fuel's "Falls On Me', which is also thought to be a song about Superman.The weight of the world falls to him.
"In this world there's real and make-believe
This seems real to me"
A lot of things that he's seen over the year that are thought to be make believe to others are all too real for him.And this moment feels real to him.
"You love me, but you don't know who I am"
She has no idea of his alien heritage or his mission to save the world.
"I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand"
He's caught between being a superhero and wanting a regular life.
"You love me, but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just let me go"
Clark tells Lana about his powers right before he leaves Smallville.This is that conversation and he's telling her to let him go.
"I dream we head to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you"
He knows he can't have what he wants in his new life, so he reluctantly turns his back on it.
"How can this love be a good thing?
When I know what I'm going through"
How can he bring someone into the dangerous life he's embarking on?
"And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside
I know, I know"
Even if he tried really hard to stay, he can't escape his destiny.
"But all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows"
All the pieces of the life they could have had fall apart, but she will be the only one who knows his secret.That's all he can give her.
"In my head there's only you now"
"This world falls one me"
"In this world there's real and make-believe"
"This seems real to me"
she is his reason for going on and he knows their love is real
"You love me, but you don't know who I am"
"I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand"
"You love me, but you don't know who I am"
"So let me go"
"Just let me go"
He is telling her that he knows she loves him, but that she will have to let him go.
