I think this song could be about many things. But I tend to agree with near fantastica. This song works better as that of the breakup of an intimate relationship. He is also saying she can sell off all their stuff and he doesn't want any of it. It would just bring him bad memories if he were to keep the stuff they both shared. If this song were not about the breakup of a marriage or something like that, some of the lines would not really make sense. But it's a beautiful song and in general it can apply to any situation where a person decides not to hold on to something that is negative... even if it means losing out on material things.
