To me, it has, and always will be about fleeing a destructive relationship with a partner who is power-hungry, a control freak ("Rulers make bad lovers").
When she says "you better put your kingdom up for sale", she's no longer giving her partner the illusion of control through a domineering, one-sided relationship. So his chasm of control, the relationship, where he gets his kicks, is basically void now that she's gone, and he has to put it up for sale, i.e. advertise his love again, so he can oppress, and rule over somebody new.
@jonerez Yes, especially the kingdom analogy. Kingdom = illusory love, a snake oil potion. When you buy it, you realise you've been duped. Your partner is a fake, a phoney. Then after it's, "Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home?"
