I think you are sort of right, but I interpret it differently.
I'm going through something like this...
I think its about how he fell in love he gave the best of himself to her, and when it ended, he can never get over her. He still loves her.
This other girl likes him and he doesn't want to hurt her, and he's telling her to cast her feelings away, because he's not worth it. Because he's not capable of loving her back. He feels that he will only hurt her so he's telling her for her own good to let go of him. So really he feels that he's not worth it, and she needs to find someone who can love her. But he doesn't want her to go away, because he does like her, he just doesn't think he can promise a serious relationship because the best part of his love is for someone else. Maybe its a plead to just be friends?
I've been on both ends of this, I've been in love with someone who felt this way, and now being let down, I'm in the same circumstance as she was in... so its just my take on the song.
