I'm pretty sure this song is about a man who's girl is leaving him for someone else. As the first lines suggest, he isn't crying or fighting about it, he says, if you want to go, there's the door. You'll regret it.
the next verse he says "you say you lost your love for me, me my love for you" which is presumably this girl's excuse for probably cheating and now leaving him: "we just don't love each other any more, you understand right?" (She's trying to not feel like the bad guy but let's face it, she is).
She probably wants to "stay friends" and what makes the chorus so great is that there's a pause between when he says, "you can bring me flowers babe," and "when I'm dead and gone," that makes it sound at first like he's agreeing to forgive her, with the suggestion being that he recieve flowers as a gesture of her apology, but then he says"...when I'm dead and gone," which is him essentially being sarcastic and saying "as if, talk to you never!" Like, sure you can bring me flowers, but it won't do you any good and you'll never see me again. You made your bed, now lie in it and think of what you gave up.
