I really love this song, and yeah, it's definitely about using/loving and leaving/taking everything that you want from a lover and leaving them behind -
But because I'm an eternal optimist, to me it seems like they're still hanging around, because they still think about them, and they know that they can still make their lover blush - and their seems to be a little sadness and regret to their words, because they 'can't' keep them.
THe use of the word 'can't' is probably just because it fits much better than 'won't' or something else, but I still like to think that it's significant.
So, hopeful meaning: The singer thinks of their past lover, who they spent some time with, but couldn't be with them any longer, and tries not to regret that fact, and while they know that they've hurt their lover, they take a little consolation in the fact that they can still make them blush.
