When I originally heard this song, I thought it was about a neglected or abandoned son talking to and about his father. In the first verse(s), he sounds as though he's referring to the coping process of the problems that came as a result of not having his dad around. The chorus was him telling his father, wherever he was, that he didn't need him anyway, and that he didn't care whatever happened to him.
The verses before the bridge sounded like an actual confrontation that might have taken place either before the father left, or when the boy was older, and he had to come to terms with the fact that they'd never have a relationship...
This is all a huge stretch, and the 'boyfriend pissed at his girlfriend' idea makes much more sense when you actually sit down and read the lyrics. But I thought I'd drop my two cents anyway.
