This song seems to be about the tension one struggles with when the feelings an important relationship are based upon become a tether to past security and love, not a continuation of their actuality moving forward.
Did I even love her in the first place? Will I be ok without the emotional safety blanket he, she, they seemed to provide? Why do I feel bad about wanting to move on to happier things? Am I capable of feeling that way again? Was it all a farce?
What's striking is the intensity of his feelings about moving on.
"It's complicated, I just don't love you anymore, I just want to sit here and watch you burn."
@brady27 he doesn't sing 'watch you burn', but 'watch it burn'. I guess he compares the relationship to a burning house and he just want to watch it burn. Like he is taking a distance to it all, to watch it from a 'safe' distance.
