I think regardless of him claiming "I don't need your love" he really feels like he does needs her love, and needs her to breath (the title...). I really think a part of him left with her, but I also think he let it all wash over without a fight, and gave himself over to complete hopelessness. (The moon will die but is it worth me trying?) It just feels to me like he doesn't have any fight left in him, even though he is still silently mourning by himself. I think he is trying to convince himself he doesn't care, but really it's taken a huge part of him and left him emty (It's only air that you feel in your chest). I think if he really didn't care this song wouldn't even exist.

It is such a beatiful song.
