Just heard this song and I agree with MusicAddict. I think they're basically saying that even if two people love each other, they still owe it to each other to break up if they aren't happy together. They're holding on as long as they can because they do care about one another but I think memories is probably what's keeping them together, rather than being happy with the present. Obviously it comes down to them only being together because the relationship is a safety net. Maybe they've been together a long time and it's all they know. Been there. Great lyrics, great band. :)
