I don't think it has to be about a couple breaking up.
Maybe it is a couple, but she has to go away for a while. It does say "Goodbye for now."
But it is a lullaby, and it makes me think of a parent saying goodbye to a child before leaving work, etc. It doesn't specify that she's going to be gone for a long time, just "for now." There's definitely an element of the separation hurting (distract me with your eyes/rhymes) but I feel like a lot of people a too quick to assume that everything is a love song/break up song/death song.
Even so, this song reminds me every time I hear it that I'm eventually going to have to go to college, and so will my boyfriend, and we won't be able to be together and it breaks my heart.
But then I just think of it as someone saying a temporary goodbye to someone she loves, just for a few hours or days.
