The song is about loneliness obviously. Not a break up song, but about just having no one in the first place:
"And a love so distant and obscure, remains the cure"
I believe this is referring to paying for sex to temporarily satiate/"cure" his loneliness.
And yeah, never needing anyone when you're young is probably because when you're young you figure you'll figure things out as you get older, you have all the time in the world. Its easier to be alone as a kid. But then when you're older it starts to become more important, and you don't want to be alone.
