he's actually talking to himself in this song. the self that he knows is there and is true, but which is also the same self everyone wants to fix.
'you wont do what the doctor ordered you wont see someone else' he cant see himself any other way. he cant look at himself and his life without a horrible feeling of unworthiness/emptiness.
'come on back to me, my bright tomorrow' he wants to be back to a time/place when the future looked less dark
'in a corridor where you find yourself not blocked by the doors you locked.' (correction there btw) - he cant shut people out of his life as easy as he thinks.
'wishing i was someone else when i see you by yourself' - an introspective thought or idea of what it would be like to be 'normal' (someone else). this only gets imagined when he sees/realizes/feels how much he has disconnected himself from everyone.
'you say you feel hollow, and you know its cause you are' - obvious feelings of emptiness. by him saying/thinking them it makes the feelings more true and real.
'i think of you with hesitation, i think of you too hard' - at first hesitation then over analysis of him fitting in and being happy with people.
'come on back to me, but dont make me sorry' - he wants the good/positive/happy self back. but only if it doesn't let him down.
i dont know i could be far off here. but this is me. thats why i feel like i get it.
