"All I want is the best for our lives my dear,
and you know my wishes are sincere..."
He's saying, he thinks they should break up because he wants her to go after her dreams and he wants to go after his. They probably have different goals or dreams in life that will take them to different places and by being together they wont accomplish them. He's saying you know it's true and you know I'm right.
"A Sunday smile, you wore it for a while
A cemetery mile, we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, and we felt true"
I think this is just describing how they were acting after they both realized the break up happened. She would smile at him because she loved him but when the time to separate got closer she stopped smiling and was sad. I think the cemetary mile thing is just them mourning the end of their relationship? I'm not sure. After the mourning they smiled and knew it was for the best.
"We burned to the ground, left a view to admire
With buildings inside, church of white
We burned to the ground, left a grave to admire
And as we reach for the sky, reach the church of white"
The relationship ended (burned to the ground), but they'll still remember eachother and all of the memories they had (left a view to admire). I think the church of white part is just the pureness and innocence of the relationship and all of the love they shared. Pretty much all of the good memories of eachother and the love they shared. The grave part is just a remembrance of the other person and their relationship again. The reach for the sky part is just him saying, go for your dreams and reach all of your goals, but still remember us and remember the church of white (their love and relationship).
IMO:

Okay, this is just my opinion. =)
