One interpretation that has been discussed is that the artist, suffering after a break up with a significant other ["it"], has been religated to "the friends zone" and is argueing with him/herself ["you fraud"] about how to handle the current situation with the significant other.
Lines like:
It tells you lies
You say you won't but you compromise
Just don't imagine you'll ever win
Any race you aren't running in
Seem to indicate that the artist understands that he or she will not be able to be with the significant other ["it"].
Or, this song could be about a cat...Sharp teeth test your skin/Too late, you let an angel in.
