To me - this song is about a guy who really is in love with a girl but he can't give her everything she needs. He understands that and wants her to be happy....but something inside him wants her to be with him because the thought of her being with someone else...crushes his soul.
He is asking her if she would just be lonely instead of finding someone who can make her complete. He knows it is wrong too because he says "I know it seems beneath me/ But sometimes it's not so easy/ To wish you well and let you go."
To me it is haunting and beautiful. A tragic side of love.
