after he catches ms. leading with another man (Red Hands), his heart is broken and he breaks it off with her. but now, ms. leading is in love with the dear hunter, and she wants to meet him where they met, where the road parts.
the line isn't "maybe where the road parts"
it's "meet me where the road parts"
this song is written from the alternate perspective of ms. leading.
the bit about the ego makes me think that she's talking about her profession... rather than for love, she sleeps with men for money, so it's her ego, not her heart guiding her.
also, i think "you're the only one that didn't fold" means that the dear hunter did not show up when she asked him to meet her, so she's saying that he didn't give into his love/lust for her because she hurt him so badly, even though others might.
