This song is about reaching the end of a relationship. He really doesn't want it to end but he knows it is ending...and he's being a man and acknowledging it...in fact maybe even ended it himself or acted in a way that caused the end. "BUT THERE ARE LONG LONG NIGHTS WHEN I LAY AWAKE
AND I THINK OF WHAT I'VE DONE, OF HOW I'VE THROWN MY SWEETEST DREAMS AWAY
AND WHAT I'VE REALLY BECOME"
But it still makes him sad. He is sad because it is mostly her decision to end it...she's stopped caring about him perhaps in a selfish way "AND ALL THE TEARS YOU CRY
THEY'RE NOT TEARS FOR ME
REGRETS ABOUT YOUR LIFE
THEY'RE NOT REGRETS FOR ME"
its not the first relationship that's ended for him but perhaps one of the most hurtful. you can tell he knows the type of things that happen in these situations.
@mikevee33 It is HIM that is ending it in the song. The song starts with the idea of him saying if you've got anything to say, say it now but just don't ask me to stay.
