These lyrics reminds me of a scenario where you have dated someone and either one of your feelings start to fade (especially when you weren't officially in a relationship, only 'seeing each other' so to speak). So it's easy to end it without having to actually announce it. Usually, especially if they remain friends, the one who didn’t end it has lingering feelings that don’t change or leave.
The part where one of them is not letting the other alone could work for either of the two people. In the case of the one whose feelings stopped, the other isn't respecting their decision and tries to change their mind.
"So fly away and leave it behind
Return someday with red in your eyes"
Person-One (who decided to stop the ‘relationship’ for whatever their reasons) possibly just wants to forget that anything ever happened between the two of them, but briefly forgets/gives in ("I need you") only to remember why it did not work and why it will not work ("they're coming to take you away").
This could also work for the second person in the way that Person-One wanted to stay friends but will not leave Person-Two alone/can't make up their mind. Person-Two most likely still cares for Person-One, but knows that they have put them through a lot of shit. It truly wouldn’t be in Person-Two’s best interest to get involved with Person-Two again, despite a love they might have for them. They will only end up broken hearted.
"I see you cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you cause you wont quit screaming my name
I feel you cause you won't stop touching my skin"
In my case, I have connected this to ‘Away’ through the second scenario because it’s something I know well. I think either could be applied however? These are just my thoughts of course.
Sorry about the person-two, person-one use. Haha it probably got confusing. Great band, always enjoy a good Breaking Benjamin song
