It's about a guy reflecting back on a relationship that two people are still desperately trying to cling to - whatever little is left of it. They've said everything to each other to try and save it that could've possibly been said and it still didn't work. ("There's nothing left to say, nothing left to prove"). It's not anyone's fault. It's simply broken.
Over the course of the time they've been split it up, which is roughly a year, a dying version of their relationship is still fighting for life - from both sides. Clinging desperately to not let the flame burn out completely. But he realizes that in order for them to both actually move on and forward, as excruciating as that may be, they need to cut ties completely and walk away. ("The only way to get on with my life is to say goodbye. So goodbye.")
It's about recognizing that remaining in the purgatory of a broken relationship prevents them from properly moving on with their lives and they need to say goodbye to what's left. That tiny sliver of their heart that is still holding on is still broken and is preventing them from moving on. ("Now it's time to turn and walk away from what's left of me and you.")
Trying to put what's left of a relationship out of your misery - as unbelievably hard as that is.
