I think a lot of you are over thinking this song. In its simplest form without over thinking it too much or examining the lyrics further than needed it is about how cruel love is. Love has treated him so badly that in a way it has completely changed him or corrupted him so much that he does not even know what he stands fro anymore.He stills sees the girl who broke his heart everywhere he goes "I still see your ghost". "try twice as hard and I'm half as liked" this is saying that he can't believe that he put everything that he had into the relationship but she still couldn't love him the way he deserved. I could go much more in depth with every line but these are the biggest lines that prove my point. But I also need to point out the most important line to validate my stance on the song. "My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she calls love" this is saying that as much bad luck that he has had with love he feels even worse for his sister because she was convinced she was in love but the man bailed on her when he got her pregnant even though he said he loved her. This song is definitely about how cruel love can be.
