It's actually an actor expressing his fears after he takes the lead role in a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame from a friend who has died. He feels this way, as the guy who died had really wanted the part yet it was taken away from him, therefore he haunts the new actor.
'It wasn't me who made you go, though,
Now all I want to do is forget you, friend.'
While he feels a slight sense of guilt, he knows he isn't to blame.

There's a better summary there. Aside from that, it's a great song and I love the video!
