It doesn't seem like the reason that she has to leave is about him, really, at all.
She "can't find forever in [his] eyes" because she's so scared of ruining what she has. It's "Perfect Now", but what happens when she succumbs to humanity and makes a mistake? She can't see the future because how can her situation get better?
It's scary because she can't take the shame of being imperfect in a perfect moment. She says that she "should leave [him] while [the eyes] dry" but they aren't necessarily his. I think she wants to freeze the moment because she thinks it's going to be the pinnacle of her existence, she doesn't want to break her own heart by not living up to what she sees as the perfect situation.
My ex kind of uses this song to explain why he left me. I don't understand. I don't think it was ever about him at all.
