Like the majority of the other songs on this album, it's about a girl, or a past relationship. From looking at the lyrics for the entire song, I would guess that the girl was cynical, somewhat hopeless about life, but who also pumps herself up with a superiority complex:
(Verse One)
"So clever, whatever,
I'm done with these endevours -
alone I walk the winding way,
(here I stay)
It's over, no longer,
I feel it growing stronger -
I live to die another day,
until I fade away."
You think you're so smart? Fine, I'm done with you - I'm going to go on alone, and I will not give up on life while there is still breath in this body. The chorus is him commenting about her attitude towards life, and possible towards their relationship - the line "It's not enough, it never is" could either refer to her dissatisfaction with life, or his behaviour in their relationship. Perhaps it refers to both:
(Basic Chorus)
"why give up? why give in?
it's not enough, it never is -
so I will go on until the end.
We've become desolate -
it's not enough, it never is -
but I will go on until the end."
The second verse is his commentary on how he currently views her and their relationship. I got wrapped up in you, and your inability to cope with and be happy in life. I love you, and even though it's over, you still creep into my mind from time to time. But I had a feeling this was coming, so I am going to keep on living life:
(Verse Two)
"Surround me, it's easy,
to fall apart completely -
I feel you creeping up again,
(in my head)
It's over, no longer,
I feel it growing colder -
I knew this day would come to end,
so let this life begin."
Some additional lines are added after the chorus is repeated. While I was with you, I became distracted from where I am supposed to be - but I am going to keep on living. Smarten up, woman - life is difficult enough without you making it more difficult on yourself:
(Extended Chorus)
"I've lost my way, I've lost my way,
but I will go on until the end.
Living is, hard enough,
without you fucking up!"
The final repeat of the chorus also includes some additional lines, replacing the second section with his view on the future. Things were difficult between us at times, and you may think that you are better than me, or that you were the winner in the conflict between us - however, I haven't given up on life, so I win in the end!:
(Final Chorus Ending)
"The final fight I win, the final fight I win.
The final fight I win, but I will go on until the end."
The_Fifth_Element pretty much said exactly what I think about the song, every time I listened to it I got the idea of this guy who was with someone although he loved her very much she just brought him down all the time. No matter what he did he was never enough or never good enough and she just, like you said made life more difficult than it needed to be.

So he got rid of her and although it hurt he moved on with is life and became the bigger person and eventually won his struggle..

I feel that your interpretation is spot on. For me, her is a him. My poison, my curse, and my recurring loss.
