I think that more then a breakup song this is where closure has come. The beginning verse would be the initial breakup. The power going out where they lost the energy or light from their relationship.
The second verse sums up the hurt "Been black and blue before" and "There's no need to explain" cause they know why she was hurt. Talking about "Your invisible, invisible to me" and "my wish is coming true erase the memory of your face" is forgetting about forgetting all that happened and the person.
The bridge or third verse is where the karma bit comes into play, the realization by the one who threw away the relationship.
The chorus is all about getting over it all.
"Blow the candles out" from the power going out and the lights being gone, the candles are the hope that the relationship will be fixed. Putting them out is the final closure.
"Looks like a solo tonight" where the realization that they aren't coming back.
"I'm beginning to see the light" kind of the morning after the darkness from the relationship ending, getting over all of it.
"But I think I'll be all right" where you realize that though it hurt like hell to breakup, you will be alright and that life goes on.
