I don't even see this as a romantic song at all, I see this as dealing with one of those "friends" ... the type who don't give even half a shit about you. they are always willing to dump their bad days on you, but the minute you want to talk to them about anything, they lose interest.
"i'm not suggesting you up and line me up for questioning
but jesus think about the bridges you are burning"
this bit goes shows that people like that, they're so self-involved, so selfish, that they don't notice nor care that the more they neglect people, the more bridges they burn.
I always joke that those kind of people, you could be in the middle of talking about your day and say something like "I'm on fire, I'm dying" and they wouldn't even notice what you'd said and just nod their heads and say "uh huh." when I first heard this song, I laughed, because of that line being in the song. :p
in the end, no matter how big of an asshole a not-such-a-friend is, you never quite feel angry enough to not care how they're treating you. it always makes you feel unloved.
