When your partner dumps you, he or she will sometimes tell you that they still love you, and they want to salvage a friendship. While this is often a big lie to keep you from feeling bad, it can also have some truth to it. Yet this new kind of love they may still feel for you is almost worse than having no contact with the person, since it feels cheap and motivated by their own guilt. And how can you ever be friends with them after the deep wounds they have caused you?
Camera Obscura's "James" can be seen as an exploration of this event, and of "why love gets up and goes," or at least changes into something else. While the eponymous character will no doubt always love the dumped person "in his own way," she wants to be with him still, something most of the dumped can relate to.
