I took the "time has passed you by" to mean they're beyond time now, it means nothing.
What's great about this song is everyone can relate to it. Everyone's lost someone, and you can relate to the sentiments in this song and the beautiful vocals.
I think this could be about a loved one who was terminally ill and "gave up the fight". The anger that can happen in cases like this - things can be said and done that you have to deal with after they're gone.
I also can relate it to the suicide of a close friend, but as I said, multiple meanings apply to this. Whatever the case, can't go past this song!
