This song could be about unrequited love, but personally I think it’s a little different.
I think that it’s about being in love with someone who’s afraid of the vulnerability that comes with being in a relationship. They are truly a sentimental person, but it’s hard to show that side of their personality to anyone because they are afraid of being hurt or abandoned. This is frustrating to the person singing the song, who deeply cares about the person and wants the best for them, and who would never intentionally hurt them. It’s painful to not be trusted by someone you love. Vulnerability and commitment has to come from both sides, and since that doesn’t seem to be happening, he’s through with trying to keep the relationship going. He’s choosing to break things of regardless of how the other person feels because it’s what is best for him and his own happiness.
