i think the main premise of this song is rather simple: no matter how hard you try to keep a relationship together, if it's not meant to be, it will end. It's a difficult thing to accept -- when love has left one side, or both sides of the equation. And in the end, you are by yourself... So this song is an anthem of sorts to those that try in vain to hold on to something they know is slipping away...
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But anyway you look at things and try
The lovers are losing
