He broke up with her a few times (favorite breakup song indicates more than once) because something she repeatedly does kills him inside...it's something significant that she doesn't understand is damaging them persistently. He was and still is in love with her, but this problem area is huge to him, and he's starting to believe that it may not survive (but I don't think it's coming back). Since he initiated the breakup, he may be stating that he's scared to try again. He feels like their love should be steady and comforting (the tide analogy). Funny though, because in this song he focuses alot on the support they give eachother, which really points to their relationship being positive. He points out over and over how they are there for each other. She his dreamgirl (indicating total love) and nightmare (hate can only stem from love). This guy is NOT indifferent. He's passionately in love and having a hard time figuring out how to make it successful for them both.
