I don't think this one is too complicated. It's about somebody who always expected to have somebody else with them in their "bed". I doubt it's literal, but that's irrelevant anyway. This person simply realizes that they have been having false hopes about having somebody, and are depressed or possibly slightly accepting of the fact that they are to remain alone as they have all these years or that they are giving up trying to find somebody to share their bed with, so they are getting rid of the unneeded space.
Ok i get that part, but where does he come in? the "And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified
It's like your some kind of hurry
To say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye"
fit in. Thats what i want to know

i think that part comes in because they're breaking up, and she's already moved on with the new bed and everything. he wasn't the one to fill the space beside her.
the whole thing is just such beautiful symbolism in the way that it's so simple. just a new bed, but with it it shows how she's accepting being alone, and at the same time moving the guy from her life. she's saying goodbye, and he's witnessing all of this.
'you look so defeated lying there in your new twin-sized bed'
she's surrendering. she's alone.
beautiful beautiful song

i can't quite grasp the lyric 'other than a sick desire for self-abuse.' is Gibbard referring to self-injury? and when he says 'it's like you're in some kind of hurry to say goodbye' is it possibly a girl who also struggles with self-injury, that, after time/him leaving her, develops into suicidal tendencies? just my thoughts, i may be totally wrong. but...i can't help but think...

Just my take.

@jikiwaka i see that as the main character becoming more and more anti-social, they just want to be alone all the time.

@padfoot Not actual self-injury i think, but the main character is just made sick by his false dream of having someone.
