At the beginning, it's empty file cabinet, not empty our cabinet.
Anyway, I only recently heard this song, so I’m not quite sure what it's about, but it's beautiful and deserves some comments, so here's one.
What sticks out to me is the idea of not being about to start over in the true sense of the phrase. She says that there’s no clean slate and you never come back the same each time you up in flames (like a phoenix). You can start over from youth, like the phoenix, but the affects of your past will never be erased.
So the next line about blaming led me to think that the song is about the end of a relationship. The catalyst seems to have been a fight because of the line about blame. The narrator (I’ll say it’s a girl for simplicity) is leaving, having realized that things are over and that they can’t begin again because things just aren’t that simple. They’ve had a relationship and can’t simply rewind time to meet all over and do things right.
The verse about the dancing and the one about falling in love are probably memories from when the relationship began, but since it has gone sour now, they're separating.
Still, I see something hopeful in the song because she tells the other person to not cry. Maybe because they had a bit of true love and should be grateful for that. And the fact that it will never be erased may prevent them from starting all over, but it also means that they won’t ever forget what they’ve had.

Anyway, it’s a gorgeous song.
