See, I got a totally different feeling from this song. I know it is meant to be a love song. But it reminds me of a Mom. A mom and her child. Right now I'm going through that faze with my mom, where I'm leaving to grow and develop in the world, and she's having a hard time letting go. But, parents have that natural instinct to allow their children to become shining stars. I think the whole living for someone who doesn't want you back thing is pathetic. I much rather prefer my vision of a mother allowing her child to leave her arms to go and become an even better person than they already are.
