this song is about more than what it appears to be. certainly, a breakup, but serious health and financial problems as well, possibly contributing to the breakup. these are the impressions i understand from the song.
it goes through not only how people react differently, but how life happens and people change. "I know I drove you away, I still don't think it was wrong, so I don't know what to say"
"been through all the cat scans and bad checks
but I slashed your debt, not your wrists
and I couldn't help with anything else that became cancerous"
he's trying to tell the person, although their life is difficult and they have cancer(?) or another life-destroying disease, you still need to view life as worthy of living. that life is too precious to lose through suicide. he kinda explains that he tried to help as much as he could, and although he cannot be with her anymore, he will still be there for her...even if she can't accept the change in their relationship.
