Actually I think that this song is about a girl who fell in love with a guy, who thought he loved her back but doesnt. So they went out, and then broke up. And he is telling her how he feels. But she loves him so much that the breakup has driven her to suicide.
The Breakup (where he says he doesnt lover her, and that he has made the same mistake of loving someone who doesnt love him):
"I saw you cryin' as I turned away
Did I see your face, like it wasn't there
And I know I was wrong...
yeah, I knew it all along
But I didn't care about you
Clara, where are you today?
And did you make the same mistakes...
that I made, a million times before I met
you "
About the relationship that they tried to make work:
"Did you know you're not the only one...
that tried to make a piece of coal into a
diamond yeah!"
Where she says shes ok with the breakup:
"So everything's fine now, at least you say
Maybe that's o.k. - But you know it's
wrong
Was I right, did it last?
Were you dwelling on the past???
Or hanging on to a memory"
where he tells her its over, and he doesnt care if she jumps or not, but if she does she will just be a bad memory like he is to her:
"so you say your time will never come
Maybe you should go ahead and jump...
Then you'll become exactly what you are
hanging onto
Standing there on the bridge
with your feet on the ledge
maybe I might push you over the edge...
and send you falling straight to the ground"
