yeah, I think the same thing. "gleaming cars, covered faces, teary eyes, hallowed places (the grave), grass and granite stone" = perfect imagery of a funeral.
a great person that you love is dying, and youre in the hospital (disinfected rooms and hallways) worrying and worrying as the person lays on their death bed, and you don't want them to die ("won't let the fates succeed"). "whispered bits of conversation, unaffected orderlies"- basically your alone in the hospital worrying and the only interaction you have with others are the short talks w the doctor and the people that work at the hospital who aren't upset like you are cause theyre around dying people all the time and this person isnt any more important than the others.
the chorus is saying that if you die you will at at peace, so I'm not crying for you, I'm crying for myself because Ive lost you, but if youre at peace then i will be at peace too.
and "why should I hope to make it through? Cause if you sleep, Ill sleep too" could kinda mean two different things:
he's either asking himself why he should have any hope at all, and then answering: because if you're at peace after death then I will be ok.
or
he's saying he shouldn't even hope to make it through this awful process cause if she dies then he will die.
