I never jumped in and rescued you
But I wanted to
I didn't tell you which way to go
'Cause I thought you'd know
You had a problem with your new found wealth
You brought it on yourself
I never told you I told you so, but I told you so
Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
I never told you I agreed with you
I don't think I do
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing meant
But I'm glad you went
I never thought that it could be painless
But it is I guess
I had myself fooled into needing you
Did I fool you too?
Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
A viral infection that can incubate for years
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
No medication to procure
Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure
I never mentioned how I've prayed for you
And now I've paid for you
I never said that I would wait for you
It's too late for you
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
Or I never will
I never will
I never will
But I wanted to
I didn't tell you which way to go
'Cause I thought you'd know
You had a problem with your new found wealth
You brought it on yourself
I never told you I told you so, but I told you so
Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
I never told you I agreed with you
I don't think I do
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing meant
But I'm glad you went
I never thought that it could be painless
But it is I guess
I had myself fooled into needing you
Did I fool you too?
Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
A viral infection that can incubate for years
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
No medication to procure
Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure
I never mentioned how I've prayed for you
And now I've paid for you
I never said that I would wait for you
It's too late for you
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
Or I never will
I never will
I never will

About someone saying someone is getting what they deserve. He means no malice, but the tradegy is painless because "he/she did it to himself/herself."
He remarks about how he should have looked out for them, but that it was NOT his fault, and ultimately, you can't hold him responsible and he's not going to feel guilty about something he did not do.
He did hope for the best for that person, but it didn't turn out right and he'll just walk away.
It could be about AIDS, but the virus part might just be a metaphor, for a common problem/addiction/past-time which causes problems.
