In my eyes, it's more that just a breakup song. Instead, it seems to be about a person leaving someone they love because the stars just aren't aligned for them.
It seems there's a few reasons behind it. As the singer says, he "caused (her) pain", but despite leaving her, the singer still loves her; "It shouldn't be so hard to be in love."
Despite all this, she seems to still love him, too. She's extremely depressed, so much so that she doesn't even water her roses, something she does religiously.
The singer still thinks it's for the best, as though he's open for the relationship in his heart, he knows in his mind, it's "something that's just not there" for them.
