He certainly did earn that reputation.
Lost in day to day
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
Some small talk with those I know
I forget that I'm not over you
For a while
A wave an easy grin
A smile to put them in
With other lives to listen to
And some work I've got to do
I forget that I'm not over you
For a while
Days go by with no empty feeling
Until I remember you're gone
People say to me, you need company
When you have some time to spend
Drop around and meet a friend
They forget that I'm not over you
For a while
They forget that I'm not over you
For a while
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
Some small talk with those I know
I forget that I'm not over you
For a while
A wave an easy grin
A smile to put them in
With other lives to listen to
And some work I've got to do
I forget that I'm not over you
For a while
Days go by with no empty feeling
Until I remember you're gone
People say to me, you need company
When you have some time to spend
Drop around and meet a friend
They forget that I'm not over you
For a while
They forget that I'm not over you
For a while

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
