Having recently been able to relate to this song in a big way, this is what i think...
I think the song is about two people entering into a relationship, both wanting and commiting themselves to what they thought would be amazing but since getting into it, the other person had other expectations
"Why can't you feel this?
Can't you understand I feel this?
This is nothing.
I can see my reflection in your cheek bone.
We've been playing out this script in your mind."
He wants to know why she can't feel and see what he sees, even though she said she did, The last line I think is about them trying to figure it out together and not getting anywhere.
The Chorus says it all."You Shut me out, I just don’t want to feel it anymore" He is done with trying to help her find herself and tired of waiting.
This line I think encompasses the song entirely "You watched me follow fools to the sea. Tie the stones that bring me down below the tide.Down and down". In this line he is saying that she stood by and watch him make mistakes and say things that further made him dig his grave.
In closing, this is about a guy who felt so strongly about a girl who said she felt the same for him, but when it came to the crunch she changed her mind, he tried to help her but he just ended up making things worse. When it all finished he felt like it was all a waste, and he finally got sick of her because she "shut him out" and he says he is done with it.
