I think this song is about a one night stand.

And it's late, so you don't really want to say goodbye, so you just head down the stairs that lead you out. The sound of silence is as loud as a gunshot. "Forgive me" were the only words they read on the note you left.

He doesn't bother to wake her up because he feels so bad about what has happened. And (not to be sexist) that's what makes a man a man.

I'm not saying you're wrong, because honestly when it comes to song meanings, there really is no wrong, but I think TheManipulator is more right, just because of the end. I don't think emery, being a band of christians, think that that's what makes a man a man. Not giving up hope, even in the hardest times is what makes a man a man...
