I like the song and think it's about real difficult struggles with someone you've known on and off for YEARS...I think it's understandable to have some real issues when someone is part of your life for a long time and provokes mixed feelings in you. It's not some "Oh noes, some gf/bf broke up with me" song. There's a little more depth to it imo.
It's like...the person in the song hates the other person's guts and thinks they're better without them. But at the same time, they have a 'dream' where they're still together and is shattered to find out the dream isn't real. I kind of relate to this duality. You want someone to have no part in your life at all and yet you still think of them fondly and wish things could have worked out better. It's not simple, it's kind of an adult conflict people deal with in terms of having to push bad influences out of your life even if you like them. That's how it speaks to me. It's vague enough for you to see it differently.
