The greatest thing about troubled relationships are the songs they produce. I think we've all had the experience of knowing it was over long before we were ready to stand on our own, or willing to admit it (Seriously, how many on-again off-again relationships ever come to anything?). And not just BF/GF relationships. With family (Have ever told your Dad you're already gone?) or at work ( I once walked off a job got on my motorcycle never to look back when my boss said my mom was hot one too many times). The silence too can be after the break-up (like music_obsessed09 said) or a continuation of the lack of communication from before (With my relationships, the first sign of break-up is when we stop talking).
Basically, I love this song 'cause it embodies what I WANT to feel when I break-up (I'm already gone, I will be strong, I don't feel sorry) while hinting at what I really DO feel (Hurt to hate, I'm feeling the strain [How can you feel the strain if you really don't care?], I feel stupid, the tone of the song, etc.)
In the words of the verve pipe.. I'm just a jerk.. but a hero's what I wanna be!
