I'm not so sure it's about being in love at all, though the some of the lines seem to depict that. If I had to guess, I'd say it has little to do with the actual relationship between the singer and subject, and is more about the subject herself. It certainly is about someone who is depressed, and trying to cheer them up. She may be alone in her sadness but she's not alone in all respects.
"I’ll cry diamonds while you burn
cause no one here can save you
she’s returning to the earth
but one day she’ll be silver"
Notice he's not burning with her, but he feels some level of pain for the fact that she's in pain. No one can really help the situation at hand, but with the words "one day, she'll be silver" implies that there is a "one day" in the future and that everything will be better then.
