It's about how two people were in a relationship, and one of them lied. He was saying sorry's not always enough, and that the lier can't try to turn it around and blame him either. He gave many "second chances", but just couldn't take it anymore. He knows the person will try to lie their way back.
(Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin' )
Also, about how when the person being lied to cut off the relationship the lier got angry and would say things they didn't entirely mean.
(Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head)
He's saying some of the lies were worth believing because being with the person was that important.
(The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing)
The chorus is about how he's capable of seeing through the person's lies and know what they're going to try to pull next.
In the last verse he's saying not to act like all of the deceptions were true. Not to cry or whine for pity to get him to take them back after it all. To just find another fool to believe them like he had, and that he was giving up on anything he had believed because all the signs told him the statements or situations were false.
(Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving )
@SomeRandomGirl This is my interpretation (mine) as well. I first heard the song from a youtuber I follow who talks about abuse.

To all the people who are saying things like 'the artist said xyz'. Well if it was about a narcissistic ex or agent then he might not want to say that. Secondly, a song like a dream can be about more than one thing, Third, sometimes the lyrics flow from someplace and we make up the reason later.

I do disagree with one element of your interpretation though. I see it as a call and response. The verse is the singer himself, the 'protagonist' as you surmised. The chorus though is the god like self image of the other party. It's basically I am a god and I can cheat you blind because I am so much better than you. Classic manipulator.
