My temper got the best of me
And when I said that I mean I know every single thing that I said was true
And I know that you're mad at me
But if you’re thinking like that, I think you’ll see that you're mad at you too
And I know the feeling's strong
Strong enough to forget about all that I've been through
And it sounds obscene, but
Loud words never bothered me like they do to you
You're the boy that talks but says nuthin'
A big game to the ones that you think will believe you
But you don't know how to read
The look on my face when it says, "Yeah I've read that book too"
And who the hell's impressed by you?
I want a names of the people that we know that are fallin' for this
You would sell your own mother out
And then betray your dead brother with another hypocritical kiss
And when I said that I mean I know every single thing that I said was true
And I know that you're mad at me
But if you’re thinking like that, I think you’ll see that you're mad at you too
And I know the feeling's strong
Strong enough to forget about all that I've been through
And it sounds obscene, but
Loud words never bothered me like they do to you
You're the boy that talks but says nuthin'
A big game to the ones that you think will believe you
But you don't know how to read
The look on my face when it says, "Yeah I've read that book too"
And who the hell's impressed by you?
I want a names of the people that we know that are fallin' for this
You would sell your own mother out
And then betray your dead brother with another hypocritical kiss

I don't think the song really gives any clear hints on who those could be about, but I agree that it does seem to be a two person dialogue going on in the song.
He talks about his brother dying last April - who he dedicated the album to - in this article so it could actually be literal and not metaphorical.
Does seem quite literal, still a heartbreaking line every time I hear it.
I think the first two verses are told from his point of view and the last two are told from her point of view, and is about some kind of conflict they had but it's both of their faults- however he blames himself.
