Filtering through the lens of my own experiences... to me this song/ the speaker seems a bit hopeless. Like on one hand they're unhappy about not having a partner, but on the other hand they have no motivation to change that, and value some things that come with being single/alone - namely the lack of challenges. There's an apathy, a discontent, and a basking. They don't even try for more (the line about a friend they've grown used to). And the last lines are almost like a mocking of society's expectation that everyone should have a partner. This sounds exactly like a guy I fell for - it seemed like we were perfect for each other, but at the end of the day he just didn't try, and I still have no idea why.
