I couldn't resist

I have this curious itch to interpret this Jason Robert Brown song.

"Letting You Go" by Jason Robert Brown

Sweeping up plaster
Mopping the floor
Washing the windows

Cleaning the closets
Closing the door
Filling the cracks
Out in the hall
Scraping the paint
Off of the wall
Changing the lock
Turning the key
Letting you go away from me.

Knowing it’s better
Here in my head
Doing the laundry

Washing the dishes
Making the bed

Nothing to fight
Nothing to choose
Maybe it’s good
Learning to lose
Maybe I’ll shine
Finally free
Letting you go away from me.

If I were smart,
If I were strong,
If I could just
Say I was wrong,
Say it was me -
Say I could move -
Make you believe
These things improve,
Could I forget
All of the cracks
Deep in the ground,
Under our tracks?
And if I could,
Then would you see
Or would you go away?
Would you go away...

Facing the facts
Watching the clock
Maybe you’ll change
Just down the block
And if you did,
Where would I be?
Letting you go away from me.

The bridge made me think that this is a breakup song, as well as the repetition of the 'letting you go' phrase. Perhaps the description of doing housekeeping is also metaphorical and the heavy chords played in the background gives the idea of a droning and "going through the motions" feel. The introspective lyrics are self-explanatory. What's the importance of scraping paint off of the wall, I mean, who does that often on a regular basis? The first stanza indicates that a mess has been made, and rinsing it all out is what has to be done. Then the second stanza starts the cleanup and soaping up wounds. The last set of listed chores is then going back to what is normally done every day: doing the laundry, washing the dishes, making the bed. Yup, it's a breakup song alright.
