While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
I wish that you would feel better
Because I would feel better too
You're not alone in this
I am trying my best ......To help you
Looking out my window,
I'm trying to pray for you.
He is trying to help you
Well dammit I am too.....I Love You
The Light shines on you only if you want it to
The people that cry you, they all love you too
The story from the picture that you're in
The way I wish I could be your friend
Through these broken eyes
I don't hold back I just cry
Through this disolving heart
I just think of about how great you are
It's Like this wall is holding me back
And I can't get through any cracks
My heart is pounding
You're heart is drowning
One day you will get through this
And my heart will be with you all the way
The sense in all off this
And the piece of you that I miss
Through these broken eyes
I don't hold back, I just cry
Through this disolving heart
I just think of about how great you are
Through these broken eyes
I don't hold back I just cry
Through this disolving heart
I just think of about how great you are
Because I would feel better too
You're not alone in this
I am trying my best ......To help you
Looking out my window,
I'm trying to pray for you.
He is trying to help you
Well dammit I am too.....I Love You
The Light shines on you only if you want it to
The people that cry you, they all love you too
The story from the picture that you're in
The way I wish I could be your friend
Through these broken eyes
I don't hold back I just cry
Through this disolving heart
I just think of about how great you are
It's Like this wall is holding me back
And I can't get through any cracks
My heart is pounding
You're heart is drowning
One day you will get through this
And my heart will be with you all the way
The sense in all off this
And the piece of you that I miss
Through these broken eyes
I don't hold back, I just cry
Through this disolving heart
I just think of about how great you are
Through these broken eyes
I don't hold back I just cry
Through this disolving heart
I just think of about how great you are

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
