Very, very sad song. I love the tone set by the music itself.
This song is the final realization that your relationship is over. I think it's about losing not only a lover, but a best friend (old standby, your right-hand guy is nothing new). For most people it's very hard to move on from something like that. Especially when you don't understand the reasons why.
There are similar themes in many of Krauss' songs (The Lucky One, It Doesn't Matter, That Kind Of Love, etc), but this song captures it the best in my opinion.
