The song is pretty straight forward in it's meaning. After a break up there is a bitterness and feelings of anger, rejection and self reflection. His initial response to these feeligns is "How could you do this to me?" which we all know we ask ourselves that question. He's also trying to rationalize this and is bitterly wishing her well with "I guess I'm horrible for you" and "I hope things work out for you/I hope that he works out for you."

As he reflets on the situation and his feelings he sees he's staying in a mental state of feeling sorry about the situation. He hears about her "moving out of here" so he takes that as she's getting on with his life and he's letting her know that he won't mull over this forever and will be" moving out".

This song holds a lot of meaning to me right now. I was caught by the soft synth and driving bass lines and then once I heard the lyrics I started toc ry. It was the embodiement of all my feelings currently with my latest love interest who led me on and then ditched me for my best friend. Being told that you're not datign material after being strung along is really hurtful but it's rationalised in the line "I guess I'm horrible for you". It hurt badly but I was all the while bitterly wishing them the best and still do. While I see them getting over my being hurt very easily I have to remind myself not to feel sorry for myself and "move out" of this state of depression.
