The moonlight, the clockwork, the lengths:
He'd follow the distance of the sun for her
He's carefully trained himself so as to be faithful
But in the end, what did he really lose?
Did he lose her, or was she never there in the first place?
That last line of the song threw me off at first listen
I think he's saying what he said when the relationship started: "you got nothing to lose", indicating he threw himself into something he wasn't sure about, so it must not have been love the whole time they were together.
"The care he took, the lengths to which he'd go"
I think that means he tried to build love with her, since with love you're usually sure from the moment you meet.
But it was all in vain and very painful to realize the truth, which apparently was before she realized it: "I felt you leavin' before you'd even gone". Poor guy didn't want to be the first to break up cause he terrified of being blamed breaking up something he worked so hard for.
It is a beautiful song, the guitar sounds like heartstrings being tugged at and ripped apart in a slow, painful method. I can imagine this song playing in a movie when the person is very depressed.
