I think it's more than just a breakup, though. There's this undercurrent of...well, partnership - - they're doing something together, something where they have to put on an act - shake hands, dance...and it's breaking their thumbs. It's showy and superficial and there's something under the surface that they're doing as well - with those sharp, sharp minds - they have goals, they're running & they're ambitious and they have plans with a capital P.
And this game, well, it's ruining their relationship. Whether they had one at all, or whether it's all for show, or whether - - it's all become phoney and cold but they're the only other person who understands any of it, and so...
It's gorgeous. The chorus. How dare you miss me? It doesn't work like that.
These lyrics are so gorgeous.

Does this make any sense?
