I probably feel this way simply because it applies to my life, but it reminds me of going off to college. You leave behind the one special person, swearing you will be back soon and often. However, as time goes on, coming home isn't as simple as you thought it would be. It sounds to me like she is saying I can't continue to watch you leave, and I can't continue to dream of you being here next to me.
It feels like a few days after a huge fight and the night before he's coming home when she suddenly realized she can't do this any more. Life is taking them in two separate directions, no matter how badly they just want to be together. He swears he can't go on without her and realizes they could never just be friends, but she has herself to take care of and enough faith in him to know that he will be okay.
The truth of it is, they both knew when he went off, it wouldn't work. It hardly ever does. I think the end is saying "We've done what's right, and in some crazy, messed up way, it's brought harmony back into our lives and the lives of everyone we know."
Well, while I see your meaning as correct, things could be a little different.

My current Boyfriend is going to go into his second year of college. We were dating the spring & summer before he left. At the time he was 18 & I was 16.
His parents talked him out of our relationship by telling him I would be likely to cheat on him. So when he left I was crushed because he's the first boy that I dated that I FELL for. However, I moved on.. Then, January of this year, after months of NO communication, he came...

However, I moved on.. Then, January of this year, after months of NO communication, he came back & I FELL again. He swore he was done with college life & ready for a serious relationship but only wanted it with me. I was SO happy<3 Then he thought he found another girl & left me again.. I still had faith that he was coming back to me. Then in March, he realized he loved me & had to be with me. So he came back & we stayed in communication till he got home in May. then my mom & step dad stepped in, told me I couldn't date him. I lost faith that he would stay because of not being able to see each other, so I left. Now.. We're together & dealing with things keeping us apart by gaining friends who help us see each other.. They're singing la la la, and we're competing against the world around us to be together..
So I imagine that the song is about him leaving many times & coming back, which only makes it harder for her to see him leave.. So she loses faith & leaves. Yet, with EVERYONE around them singing la la la, she's probably going to realize she still loves him & that he's back for good, so her faith will come back.
We just don't know if the end of the song is the permanent end... Or if there's more to the story that we don't get to hear because it gives us a sense of wonder & makes us able to apply it to our own life's this way.
So in a way.. We write the end of the story that this song plays out.

You nailed it. This is exactly how I feel about this song, I've been through it...
