I think this is about a breakup, simply because of the lines "although you said you'd go ... until you did - I never thought you would"
However, this song and DM's performance are so moving that it captures the same feeling of loss from many of life's moments: including breakup or death of a loved one.
I even feel this captures the feeling of a single parent losing a child who has gone off to college or military. leaving the parent at home alone. Though the lyrics quite don't match that scenario, the feelings communicated in the song are quite applicable.
I'm sure there are other situations of loss for which this song resonates.
BTW - this is a truly brilliant song and performance.
