The "man" is talking to Diana about Jim. She says he lived within the slow fade of love. In the last verse Jim says "Diana, Diana, Diana I would die for you". And that's what he did. When Jim wrote the note "If living is the problem well, that's just baffling" he was hinting towards his wife.
"Me" I think is Jenny or whomever wrote the song. Jenny is talking to Jim's wife. For whatever reason Jim doesn't love his wife anymore, something the wife has done because even their daughter doesn't want to stay with her. She says "living is the problem for me."
And "Jim" is in first person. Diana doesn't love him or won't allow herself to let him in anymore. Probably because he's married (IDK). This wrecks him. Both because love has faded with his wife, love is fading with Diana.
I just love how the story intertwines with all the people involved. You can take a lot from the song.
This is what I think the song is about:
