"I want to stand up and speak my peace
And let your hollow pieces walk away."
In my perspective, he wants to confess his ongoing love to her and make her realize he's still cares. By letting her hollow pieces walk away, makes it appear like she's almost stuck between him and the new love. By hearing him say such things at such an event would probably crush her as well. It's almost like it's not just one-sided.
Wedding/Funeral seems to be the wedding of a past love (self-explanitory). Funeral is referring to a closure to their love, by letting her go (to be married to someone else). I suspect this because he says, "But you won't look at me, Not so much as smile." To me, she's still alive, at her wedding, and she's so caught up in the excitement of being at her wedding (walking down the aisle), that she's probably trying to avoid making eye contact with him.
This is definitely a heartfelt song. Something so passionate doesn't come from just anywhere.
