I love this song, It's absolutely brilliant! I thought it might be about someone who doesn't love their partner and at the start they are sort of acting like they are being accused of not loving them (Do you think I’m faking when I’m lying next to you?) and are trying to make the other person think that they are paranoid and that they are going crazy.(Must be something on your mind, something lost and left behind) but at the end of the opening verse they say "Do you know I’m faking now?" so maybe he is starting to admit to himself.
Then in the second verse he says "Do you know I'm faking?" so he is asking a question, he's admitted to himself and now he's wondering if this person knows he doesn't love them. Then instead of "Something lost and left behind" It says "Something lost for me to find" which may show that everything they had together is empty and he feels incomplete and doesn't want to be the woman anymore.
Then , when it says "Then she told me she had a gun, sounded like she used it once before" it could be an early indication or warning in the song so the listener knows that there is something wrong. This verse also suggests that she may have used it once before, but he doesn't know.
Then in the fourth verse he says "I guess you know im faking....there’s nothing left for me to hide" which may show that she has found out and that he is worried, but kind of in a way he wanted her to know, although at the end of the verse he is still questioning whether she knows.
But then, in another verse it says "We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face" which may show that you have to be honest and you can't hide how you feel. "I need you, I breathe you" Maybe this shows that he still has feelings for her, but he wants to stop loving her. This could be a twist in the song, showing that all this time he has been trying to convince himself that he has no feelings for her, but inside he does. This verse is like a turning point in the song and may may be a solution to the clues in the beginning. "I can't go through this all again" he could have had this problem with the woman before and maybe it brakes his heart and he wants to forget about it.
Then at the end it says "Then she told me she had a gun she says she wants to use it on me now…" This may show that she has had enough and cannot take the confusion anymore.
Overall I think this song shows mixed and contrasting emotions and maybe the fear of uncertainty and what is going happen next.
My interpretation may be completely wrong, but that is what I feel the song may be about.
