The one thing that confuses me is if Stephen is saying the girl left him and went with someone else (first stanza) or if he's saying the girl knew there were problems in her relationship, but she felt time would fix them. Then the years keep going by and the problems persist.
"Five years go by and you sit and wonder why,
You didn’t stick to your guns in the first place"
The girl is wondering why she didn't leave when the problems first started.
His girl left him and thought there was something better out there that she'd find with time. She obviously doesn't and her world is sort of crumbling, but Stephen can't help her now.
