i see this in a different light though. since in literature a piece's meaning could also be your own and yeah i can pretty much relate to the song now actually...
for me this is a bitter song. i see the persona of the song as someone who's already tired of love probably because his/her relationships failed. then in the middle of a song, it's as if he's addressing the song to someone who is in love with but would not like to take the risk anymore in spite of people telling him there are still a lot of people in the world who could possibly love him back the way he wanted to as seen in this stanza:
"Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world
Just the other side of the door
Six billion beautiful faces
But I saw them all before..."
and:
"And it's not about giving up on you
It's not a case of do or die
It's simply that it's over and out for me
There's no more room inside"
for me it clearly shows that he/she doesn't want to be in a relationship with the person because he already closed his heat's door.
then the persona further tells in this stanza that "ok you can still love me. come whatever may in the future but as of now, i don't care. and if you're gonna hate me for it, it's still fine with me"
"Yeah I know I should care if you come with me
Yeah and I should care if you go
Really should care about your love or your hate of me
Yeah I should care... but I don't"
here it is shown that he/she never fell out of love and still holds the feeling. he just doesn't want to entrust him/herself again and be hurt, which is a vicious cycle he/she wanted to free him/herself of:
"No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone
And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do - this to be it for me and you
This to be the last we go through this to be the end.."
then the last line shows that he/she is contented, or perhaps enjoying his freedom of being single - of not being broken again by another person:
and oh yeah... per social standards, everyone should get married and have a family. for me it was "alternative end" because he wanted to live his life alone than with the wrong person.

i was actually thinking of this song as a continuation of "end of the world" hahaha..

"For all my dreams came true"
just my 2 cents.. i hope this makes sense

also tells that let's just love each other but without any commitments because we'll be happier this way for the longest time.
