I think the contrast is the most amazing part of this song. THe fact that he uses the word "honestly" in the same chorus as the phrase "easier to lie." There is a definite fight there.
I see the song from a guy's perspective, from the perspective where women say "I love you" a lot sooner. And someone said to him "I love you" and he didn't feel the same way, so it was easier for him (or anyone) so say it back and lie rather than not say it.
In the second verse, it almost feels like he is obliged to feel the same. like he feels bad about not feeling the same. like maybe he should try harder to feel the same way.
blah..it doesnt work, but its a great song...these are my thoughts on it. tell me otherwise.
