I think many on here miss the point of this song. He wasn't in love with this girl. She was in love with him. He might have loved her struggle to love him but now he wanted her to release him.
He doesn't care where she's been to me is about him not being as into her as she is and possibly avoiding their interactions as each takes them one step closer to him breaking her heart. It's a reaction to the recent times she's asked him why he doesn't care where she's been and who she's been with. Classic girlfriend "prove you like me" behavior.
The answer to her question is this song. The irony of women is that she'd probably fall for him and see more hope if she read these lyrics.
The fact is that "no one deserves this". "This" is what he's gonna have to do to her. He's been avoiding it.
Also, I think too many people miss that most of his lyrics often mean many things at the same time. I think there are themes in this song that aren't just about his "little one" and their relationship. It also touches on his own desires to end himself (possibly a loosely connected commentary on the fact that she's not filling him or curing him or helping him) and his view of evil winning out in all things "before you do as the devil pleases".
She's a spent of time that's needing to end cause he'll just sit in misery forever but she needs to move on because she wants more than that.
That's my take. But as always. I'm late to the party.
Last note: The song itself is haunting and beatiful in a way that only his music can be.
