I should have known
It seemed too easy
You were there
And I was breathing blue
Strange
Don't you think I'm looking older?
But something good has happened to me
Change is a stranger
You have yet to know
Well you're out of time
I'm letting go
You'll be fine
Well that much I know
You're out of time
I'm letting go
I'm not the man you want
I should have known
It seemed so easy
You were there
I thought I needed you
Strange
Don't you think I'm looking older?
But something good has happened to me
Change is a strange
Who never seems to show
Well you're out of time
I'm letting go
You'll be fine
(or maybe you won't)
You're out of time
I'm letting go
I'm not the man that you want
I never should hove looked back in your direction
I know that
Just the same old fights again, baby
These are wasted days without affection
I'm not that foolish anymore
It seemed too easy
You were there
And I was breathing blue

To me its about someone who's Older,wiser and maybe more educated in his life. He's changed and he is saying, Im going to let you go for the cos im not the man you want, Trust me.

Does the older mean wiser?
What is the use to be wise?
Or what is the use to have anything in this world, but not to be loved?
The intellect remains and becomes richer, but love has gone.
Intellect could even says you will find another love soon or later.
Another...
Letting go is the fact - there is no alternative.
There is nothing at all - the days are wasted without affection.
The final paragraph tells everything.
It is obviously not the hope.
It is not the regret.
It is all over in the nearest past.
It is the dialogue between God and soul.
The dialog which ends with blessing continue the way (live).
It seemed too easy
You were there
And I was breathing blue"
Right off the bat he says he should have known, it seemed to easy, You were there and I was breathing blue. So this person had been CONVENIENT for him. Most likely helped him through a rough patch of depression of some sort
"Strange
Don't you think I'm looking older?
But something good has happened to me
Change is a stranger
You have yet to know"
Change is a stranger You have yet to know - He has matured, expanded and changed but this person has not. He believes he has grown past and beyond this person, as he sort of always knew he would.
"I'm letting go - I'm not the man you want."
This seems pretty straight forward. He is leaving and wants this person to understand he/she will be just fine and most likely will be better off without him.
"I never should have looked back in your direction
I know that
Just the same old fights again, baby
These are wasted days without affection
I'm not that foolish anymore"
They have been "hot and cold" for some time, having the same old fights and really...it is totally not worth another minute of his time.
He pretty much has known he was using this person for short-term and really should not have let it go on this long. But now, something else has come his way and he is not going to waste anymore time playing around. The relationship is over, timed-out and he is ready to move on NOW!
So, you'll be fine or maybe you won't but see you!!...
