He's writing from the "nice guy" position. Basically, he opens with "Does he know all the things I say to you? Or am I just wasting my breath on some unspoken truth?" ABout how you talk to the girl you like a lot while she's with her boyfriend, and you like her a lot.

The lines: "I've been trying my best to stop asking myself what all of this is for.
'Cause I ain't in the business of saving lives anymore." are basically about how when you're a nice guy (as i am) you try and figure out why you're always like this even though you constantly get hurt by girls.
And "saving lives" is about helping every girl you like deal with getting their hearts broken by assholes.
That's my interpretation, especially if you listen to the whole cd. That's what the whole cd is about. Liking someone that's with someone else, or who only wants you as a friend.

'cuz i don't wanna hear my name when you're alone again'
wow....that's just deep
