I've decided that this song is my personal anthem, and the lyrics-submitter guy did an okay job with the lyrics, but some are wrong :-/. It's "you said 'please don't change, don't fade away'", not "so...". Thought I'd correct that :).
Anyway, I think the main character is leaving a friend of his. Many would say that he's leaving his GIRLfriend, but it could go either way, really. I think it's more meaningful if it's a guy friend, but easier to relate to if it's a significant other.
So, the character(...let's call him Jeff, assuming Jeff wrote it about himself...) has been living with his friend. However, his friend is involved in another crowd or something and treats Jeff like an outcast. When they're alone, the friend is good to Jeff. He says stuff like "Please don't change", since Jeff's a good person; however, it's too late for that. The friend still wants Jeff to depend on, but Jeff's fading away, not wanting to be used anymore.
Jeff finally gets up the courage to leave and go out on his own, and the friend realizes that he needs Jeff. He's quite saddened by this. Yes.
Hmm. Anyway, that's my take. :). Think of this masterpeice how you will.
