I don't know, maybe he does see love as a simple thing, simple things aren't necessarily easy, especially when people make them complicated.
"Trying to turn these lover's rules into a simple plan"
Note that he says 'these lover's rules' refering to the groundwork laid out by the individuals in the relationship. Maybe relationships are only difficult when the two individuals aren't really suited to one another.
Anyway, the song is definatley about falling out with a lover, but I like the way he uses the concept of nothing in the lyrics:
"It's been said best by you
Been said best before"
