Hace unos días descubrí esta canción y supe al instante que tenía que traducirla.
Esta es mi interpretación de la letra:
El cantante sigue amando a una chica, la cual era su novia previamente. No quiere estar solo con ella porque le incomoda la situación y este le pide volver a ser novios ("I say don't let me go").
Ella sólo quiere ser su amiga porque la relación de novios no funcionaba y cree que ser amigos es lo mejor ("And you say why can't we be friends? And talk to me and tell me how this one goes"). "This one goes" hace referencia a su nueva relación de amistad, pues ella cree que es lo mejor.
Por otra parte el cantante habla de tener un "amor autodestructivo", esto puede hacer referencia al verso "And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new". (El amor autodestructivo) se cae, se rompe y se convierte en algo nuevo.

A few days ago I discovered this song and knew instantly that I had to translate it.
This is my interpretation of the lyrics:
The singer is still in love with a girl, who was his girlfriend previously. He doesn't want to be alone with her because the situation is uncomfortable and he asks her to be a boyfriend again ("I say do not let me go").
She just wants to be her friend because the relationship did not work once and she believes that being friends is the best for both of them ("And you say why can't we be friends? And talk to me and tell me how this one goes"). "This one goes" could mean their new friendship.
On the other hand the singer speaks of having a "self-destructive love", this can refer to the verse "And it falls and it breaks and it turns into something new". (Self-destructive love) falls, breaks and turns into something new.
