i think this song means that the guy wants to break up with his girlfriend but he doesnt want it to be a sad situation. I think this line "But that's not your problem That's not a problem That's not my problem That's not your problem." means that theres nothing they could do to make it work, they just werent meant for eachother, and that its better to be apart and be happy than together and unhappy. but thats just my interpretation:)
