The assumption is that Donna was slated to die and the Doctor got around the prophecy. But there is the metaphoric death of Pete's World. And now 10.2 is "dead" like Rose and Jackie. But Caan could well be talking about the Doctor...because the first time he says anything about dying in context...it is during the comment..."The Doctor and his precious children of time...and one of them will die." So...we are led to believe that one of them will die. Also, it is his most "faithful companion"...one would assume that is Rose or Donna. But also..it is loneliness and sorrow. If 10 goes on as he is going...he goes on in loneliness and sorrow. But if 10 dies...goes to Pete's World...than his song ends. The true song that the Ood were talking about..."Same old life...in the TARDIS."
When the Ood said his song was coming to an end...it was in response to the Doctor indicating the TARDIS and saying he had a song. When Rose asks him in Doomsday what he's going to do now...he says, "Oh, I've got a TARDIS...same old life." And Bad Wolf Rose said..."Everything dies. All things come to dust." That includes the Doctor...and the Face of Boe. People, to me, seem to limit all this prophecy too much. Maybe RTD limits it, too. But I think all of it fits with the idea of the Doctor changing into something new...and he HAS made that change...he's just one step away from making it a "new song." One little body swap away from having the Doctor having the life he longs to lead and us having the Doctor we deserve.
