I think it's all down to how you interpret it - it means what you want it to mean. This is my interpretation...
He says 'I don't mean to hurt you', which suggests to me that 'I' and 'you' are close friends and care about each other. That's pretty much where my interpretation of the song comes from.
I think they are great friends and both have strong feelings for each other, and they both have known about it for some time...
'We used to like it
Used to be
In the sunset time of our dream'
But 'I' has realised that things won't work between them and feels like he needs to break contact and get away...
'I finally realised
I know you'll never really get inside of me
But I don't mean to hurt you
Just let me disappear'
He realises this will hurt his friend because he will be leaving her life and they care a lot for each other, but he finds it too hard being around her while he still has feelings for her. Maybe it hurts him if he sees her with another guy and it's too much for him.
Personally, I think he's a muppet for wanting to throw away the friendship he has because of how he feels.
An amazing song by an amazing band!
