This song to me is very youthful in the most melancholy way imaginable. Seems like some sort of unrequited love. But like the kind where there wasn't ever a point where it was returned. Then noted in the lines "never alone, I can cope" and watching "you/two go" is that dreadful feeling of seeing her with someone else. He wishes he knew how easy it is for the two observed. Maybe even an inherent difficulty with women and relating on that level, and what seems easy for others. I dunno, any thoughts posters?
I totally agree on the part of this being a love that cannot be returned to but I think some of the other means may be misinterpreted. I could also be wrong here.. but it seems like Blake speaks of being able to cope with a break up the way his loved one did. The title is To Care (Like you), he may be referring to the lack of care that she(his loved one) had. I think watching two go, is him and his ex separating. He cares too much, but she doesn't; he wants to care the same way...

He cares too much, but she doesn't; he wants to care the same way she did. He wishes he knew how easy it was to not care. Did he fight it too much? is the question I believe he is asking by 'protesting too much?' He cant get over her the way she got over him and wishes he knew how. He wants to feel fine about her growing and moving on but feels sad to watch her go at the same time. This could just be my interpretation, but I feel this song deeply and I feel that this is the meaning. Again, I could be way off here. Love this song
