This is about loosing not only a fiancé, but a best friend (Lost my best friend and a fiancé).
"You're biting your lip now,
I know 'cause you do it all the time."
It's someone you've grown SO close to, you know everything about them, even the little quirky things.
"Proving that you're free,
Independently.
You say, you still love me,
But I'm your own worst enemy."
The girl is saying she wants to be independent, but she's really just trying to sever all connection between them (Nothing I could say could sway you not to sever ties).
"I'd rather have been shot,
On the Third Of May."
For the guy? It's painful as all get out. He'd rather have died than have broken up with her.
"I can think of better synonyms for fear,
I hope your life is great I hope it's been a wonderful year.
Waiting every day,
Staring at the phone,
Jesus Christ, I feel so empty and alone. "
What he's saying is that "independence" is not a good word for "fear". She was afraid. Saying she just wanted "independence" was a lie.
He just wants to stay friends, even if there is nothing romantic between them. But she calls him, or talks to him, or anything... leaving him feeling incredibly horrible and alone. To lose a best friend like that is awful.
