I think I'm going to have to disagree on the thought of this song being about a lover dying. Simply because of the line "I'm still holding out for you." I see that as still having hope that the other person might come back...and ya can't come back if you're dead. Plus the line that says, "I'm choking on the words I didn't get to say And pray I get the chance one day." You can't actually tell someone something when they are dead. I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think that this song just represents a breakup.
@Goldylockz22 Actually I'd have to say that it fits perfectly to a loved one dying. Having been I that situation myself " holding out for you" meaning no matter who she's with or what she's doing he's all she thinks about. It's not possible to live another when you're in love with a ghost. And to pray that she gets the chance to one day say all those things she didn't get a chance to means that she hopes she'll see him again in heaven.
