I absolutely adore The Whitlams and this is one if my favourite songs (nice one Bernie).
The lyrics are poignant and I think everyone over 20 can relate to how adoring someone who breaks your heart can cause you to become hard and cold. A sad fact of life and love, to be sure.
As to "and let's just leave it at one third each" - perhaps it's because there's 3 people in their relationship - him (our protagonist - Bernie?), her, and the other man she's "excited" about (that Bernie now "knows" about). So sad.
I LOVE how the song ends - with Tim on the piano smashing it down. Utterly brilliant.
