The lyrics are fine gimme a break. They don't have to be genius to be even half good. The main thing is if they convey what the writer is trying to get out. That's the only real measure of good lyrics from an artistic standpoint.
Just a thought, but I don't think the song is necessarily autobiographical. Steve doesn't always write from his own experiences. I think it's more fictional, just an idea of someone ruining someone else's life through a bad relationship. But the speaker is telling him or her to get over it because the relationship meant more to one person than it did to the other.
