Like someone mentioned previously, this song is not meant to be deeply profound - it is instead playful, a touch sad, and ever so mildly philosophical.
My belief is the girl wants out of the relationship - but she has yet to tell the guy. Then one night she senses ambivalence (bordering on pain) in the guy's feelings about the relationship.
So she jumps on the opportunity, slyly giving the guy his freedom to end the relationship with her full blessing and no ill feelings. In so doing, she paints her own image as caring and altruistic. But ultimately she is only giving him his freedom so that she gets her own freedom as well - with the added bonus that the blame goes on the guy's shoulders. This frees her of any guilt about ending the relationship (except, of course, in her own conscience - if she has any)
I like the catchy drum work at the start of the song and during the 'A' choruses :)
