I've never thought of the song being that way, but that's an interpretation I could see as being true. I've always thought it was about someone who doesn't want to bog himself down with all the crap that relationships bring, so he isn't in one. Everyone pities him because he's "alone" but he's fine with it. I've thought of the girl as an ex-girlfriend rather than someone who has died, but I could see it both ways.
