I just happened to see it the other day, actually, and was appalled. I had a pretty good idea of what it was about and this is how it read, to me, based on what I know of Andy's history with women:

I said I didn’t want to tell you [that I don't love you that way].

You said I would if I was your friend. [I have never truly been your friend.]

I said it would hurt you [because I've spent months making you emotionally dependent on me].

You said I would if I loved you. [I don't. I just needed you to love me.]

I said you couldn’t handle it [because so much of your self-worth is now wrapped up in my opinion of you].

You said you couldn’t handle not knowing. [But keeping you in a state of hopeful uncertainty is most profitable for me.]

I said you’d have a nervous breakdown [at which point I will push you even further away because your emotions are inconvenient for me].

You said you really, really needed to know. [I don't care about your needs.]

I said you already knew and that it wouldn’t be being a good friend to tell you [that all this time I've just been manipulating you].

You said you needed to hear it anyway. [And what the hell, maybe I can keep the attention coming for a while by "supporting you".]

I told you [in a way that downplayed my role in encouraging these feelings in you].

It hurt you. You can’t handle it. You’re having a nervous breakdown. [Which surely will not be helped by my vagueblogging about this.]

I told you [and now I'm making it all about me and my feelings].
