I don't think that she has done anything to the person she is (clearly) breaking up with. It isn't in the same vein as say, The Special Two. I think it is more that she has come to the realisation that she isn't a complete person within herself, so she has to leave him in order to find herself. She understands that she might lose him completely in doing so but she has to be able to be a complete person without him. I think it's an incredible song because "Cuz I don't know, who I am, who I am without you/All I know is that I should" is such a true statement. No matter how much you love someone, if you aren't a whole person within yourself, you will never be truly happy.
Stefani has it right. This song is about an incompleteness in one's life. She loves this man more than anyone she has ever loved, but for some reason she still does not feel complete. No matter how bad she tries to get rid of the doubts, they keep popping up, little voices telling her to cut and run, even though the man in front of her is everything she could ever want. At this point it isn't about the guy, for all intensive purposes the guy is perfect, but as Stefani said above, there is a lack of wholeness within...

And no matter how great her life is with that man, she will never be happy because she is incomplete.
Until she steps away from him and figures herself out she will never be fully happy, and she realizes that in that process she will most likely lose him to a woman who can actually love him with all of her self.
This song will stick with me forever. As a guy who refused to "leave without a fight" it is one of the toughest things in the world to realize that no amount of love you give can fix the situation, it is just something she has to go do for herself, and you have to move on and continue living.
Im so sorry you were that guy... i was that girl... Leaving him was the HardesT thing EVER, especially becuase he tried so hard to fix what he couldn't fix. He is absolutely amazing and there is no doubt in my mind that it wont be long til he will find an amazing girl who will completely adore him...
I hope you do as well!

@stefani_notgwen Wow! You stated that so elegantly and made it so simple to understand. And yes, it is an incredible and brave song.
