What an amazing song. I think the meaning is pretty obvious.
This relationship is failing ("this candle burning out"). He keeps making empty promises and treating her badly, but at the same time... he says things that make her feel good and hold on to the relationship ("cause when you want to you can make feel like we belong").
Maybe she feels like a "back-up plan" because he's out with other girls, but still stringing her along because he knows that she loves him. And he does this so that he'll feel secure in having someone (her) if things with the other girls don't work out.
If only this song where around with my ex-boyfriend - it's verbatim how I felt and explains the situation so perfectly.
But how good it feels having someone make promises and keep them.
