I think this song is about a realationship turning sour and him saying he will always haunt her "But in her dreams is where i will haunt her". The line "I've seen the shadow of this burning angel." is saying that he has seen the the shadow of her falling from grace, he thought she was an angel but now she falls from grace, burning. (brings up images of icarus in my mind) "Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears It will be ok." this line seems as though he is changing his tune from being bitter and haunting her to telling her that it will be ok even though she doesnt want to hear his voice. "Smile when you think of me, The pain will go in time." this line says simply dont hate me, dont feel pain when you think of me, just smile and remember the good times. Then there is the penultimate part " I leave these words in hope that... That we'll meet again, again.. now?" this is to say that he is being nice to try and bend the burnt bridges and smooth over the cracks so that they may try it again. The final part, and very simple ending to an amazing song "I Know this wont last forever, I Know this wont last forever" he is saying that he knows that they should be together and the silence and hate between them will not last foreve.
