i must admit i'm a bit confused about this song. but my theory is that HE broke up with HER (or maybe, having recently broken up with someone myself, i am twisting his words to fit my meaning) for the first few stanzas and then it seems to reverse at the end. so i'm still trying to decide which one is right...
"you fell dowm of course/and then you got up of course/ and you started over/ forgot my name of course" that makes sounds as if he broke up with her, and she took it rough but eventually got over him completely
"think of what the past did/ it could've lasted/ so put it in your basket/ i hope you know a strong man/ who can lend you a hand/ lowering my casket" sounds like after she started to remember she still couldn't get over him, so he's basically saying, "stop thinking about what could have been, find yourself someone else who will help you forget me."
but then the entire final stanza makes me question whether it was really he that broke up with her... "i thought this is just today/ and soon you'd be retuning/ the coldest blue ocean water/ cannot stop my heart and mind from burning/... and if there's anything good about me/ i'm the only one who knows"
anyone else confused about the meaning or anyone else thinks HE broke up with HER?
I think he broke up with her, but only because he was afraid of the future, not because he didn't love her. So at first he's saying f*** you but later he's like "I miss you and I wish you weren't gone."

@HelloOperator So my ex boyfriend that broke up with me has been listening to this song so I searched the lyrics and found this. He broke up with me, we gave things another try, he broke up with me again, and now has come back again. These lyrics sounds really relevant to me - not sure if I should be concerned though....
