i can relate more to this song than any other song i've ever heard in my entire life.

to me, it's about a relationship that is crumbling. The girl is most likely cheating on him (i see you hold his hand), and he knows it's over. He's been ready for it to be over for a while, or at least knew it was going to happen (i don't know you anymore, so i'm not going to cry now). She leaves him to travel, maybe she's coming back, maybe it's a one-way, but it doesn't matter. The narrator is so far detached from the girl he doesn't even care anymore.
