I didn’t realize it could be sarcastic or ironic. Not like 10cc’s I'm Not in Love, where I knew from the first that the message is that he is in complete denial cause he actually is still in love (Be quiet, big boys don't cry... and nobody keeps an picture of an ex just to hide a nasty stain on the wall).

But reading carefully the BL song, yes there are some contradictions that he notices in the girl, like when he says You said that you love me / And that you always will. But then I wake up alone with it all / I wake up but only to fall.
