I don't think this is about regretting a break up, I think this song is about how after breaking up, he wanted to be friends and she won't acknowledge him anymore. And that hurts worse than anything, being blatantly ignored after you've shared so much and loved someone so much. The person he left turned into someone he used to know, he has no idea who this person is anymore, stooping so low that they won't meet with him or talk to him or anything. The person changed their number so he couldn't call them or have any sort of communication with them, and he wouldn't have thought they'd be like that. But then the song gives it from her point of view, that she is hurting and pissed and doesn't want to have anything to do with him because she dislikes how he views her now.
I totally agree with the regretting a break-up portion. I think a lot of times people have an issue letting go of their ex's after a break-up. The whole idea of "we'll still be friends" is common, but destructive. You can be on friendly terms without being close and staying in touch. It's a very rare situation that the break-up can be truly amicable and end with friendship. Most of the time, it's lop-sided, with one partner wanting the relationship to stay together. If a "friendship" is kept, that partner is constantly torturing themselves with hope of what could have...

To me, in these lyrics, he's acting childishly and she's handling it like an adult. She won't spit in his face if they run into each other, but she's not going to continue to torture herself with contact. A clean break it best, even if it's the most painful, and he's too obsessed to see that.
Totally agree with altari. Seems like he's self-importantly clinging on to his ideals whilst trying to drag down this girl who's just trying to move on after he screwed her over. He's trying to victimise himself but she won't take it, and her response is what makes this song so brilliant xD
