I think it's about someone who continues to try to be kind to someone whose heart they broke, and sometimes it's better to cut the cord because you continue to love them more when they're kind to you when you're still enamoured.
Also, I think some of these lyrics are a little bit off.
Line8: Will fall through.
Line 27: instead of You’re coming out of bed, I believe it's "You're coming of age."
And what I have for that whole second to last stanza sounds more like this in my head:
Like two ships passing in the night
We're gone
Only the moon and the stars in the sky
Did know to cry for me as I sailed on
Why can't you see it now?
You're reckless and in love
Your heart's boiling over
Oh, why can't you see it now?
You're coming of age
