This song is basically about a guy who had a summer fling (probably a short one) with this girl, and she doesn't like him anymore, and she says what they did together doesn't really count for anything once they're through. She seems to think he's "a lush" and "overrated", and wants to end their relationship.
He's saying that he still sorta has feelings for her (though he doesn't want to) and that he just hopes she'll miss him, or think of him later, and not just forget him as another jerk, another summer conquest.
He knows maybe he should hate her for breaking things up, but if anything he feels guilty, like it's his fault, because he likes her, a lot, and "the truth is, you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath, I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt", that's how stuck he is on her. (Yes, that line has been criticized as being such an emo cliche, but whatever, it's part of the song.)
And he secretly hopes she'll want him back, though he knows that it probably won't happen, and that his intentions are bad and that maybe she'll tell everyone else that he's bad news. (This last part is conjecture, but quite possible.)
Basically, this is a summer love story that ends sadly, with nobody really happy and everyone disappointed or confused.

This is about a guy's relationship with a girl, a summer fling. They had an amazing summer together, but it's over. Hence the title.
She tries to turn him down, "don't let it go to your head, boys like you are a dime a dozen" but he's still in love with her.
"And all I need to know is something you'll be missing, maybe I should hate you for this, never really did ever get quite that far," Maybe it is over between them, but all he needs to know is that they meant something to her, and he should hate her for the way he is being treated, but it hasn't gotten that far yet.
"The truth is you could slit my throat and with my one last gasping breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt," basically means that he would do anything for her.
"Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions," He keeps thinking about them together using his wishful thinking. He hopes for the best. He's possibly a hopeless romantic.
"If I'm just bad news then you're a liar," if she claims they didn't mean anything, then she's lying.
"If only you knew half as much as you pretend to," she knows what he's going through to a point.
Definitely my favourite song of all time, helps me through all my problems and relates a lot to me.

I would just like to say that the guy in this song has strong feelings for the girl "maybe I should hate you for this, never really did ever quite get that far" and that my favorite line is "the truth is you could slit my throat and with my one last gasping breath id apologize for bleeding on your shirt" is my favorite line, he's hopelessly and uncontrollably in love with her

Im gonna describe this from my life point of veiw experience and I'm a girl ,but I feel more like the singer does.It fits me and my ex!
Boy- don't take this so hard that I'm leaving you. Your rare and a girl like you is hard to find.You can get other boys easily. I respect you too much too pull any sexual moves on you because I should date girls closer to my age. People exagerrate how great you are but its all true.I hate that your so great at life and perfect for me becuase it makes it harder to leave you. And the things you say to me won't mean a thing soon because I'm just gonna try hardest to forget everything extraordinary about you.Because it hurts to think about.And I can't be friends with you.
ME-I really hope you miss me because if you don't I feel like I'm worthless. I need to know. I should hate you that your dating a girl whom doesn't keep her legs closed and gives head as a sport, that's my age.I should hate you because you sucked at being friends.But I cant.
ME-I would never lie to you in life.Like it feels like you did to me. Only if it was to benifit you I would lie. Im so weak for you that I apoligize for things that you should be apoligizing for.And you could do anything to me and I would still blame myself.
I have positive thoughts on the future too much faith in you. But then I have bittersweet thoughts of dating this boy that likes me.But at first using it to make you feel how I feel and hurt.Then I might actually like the boy though. You shouldn't be able to speak my name to other people beacause your hurting me so badly and don't derserve to say my name. I believe you told the boy that liked me that I'm bad news because you still have feelings for me.Your such a liar and I should hate you but dont.
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (maybe I should)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (hate you for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
(if only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
"Someone to hope for, so save your dance for another time"
Maybe I should hate you for this
(if only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
"Someone to hope for, it's your last chance, she said don't"

this song reminds me of my first love, i was so young than that grass stains didn't mean a thing and back than i took him for granted and he took me for granted cause little did we know we'd look back and those would be the years of our lives. we hate each other for what happend but like the song goes we never really got that far we are still friend we talk about it sometimes and i know where we stand, i'm glad to have him in my life still because he was a very important part of my life and i know i'll never feel like that again.
