I picture this as someone coming to the singer asking for help about something in his life.. perhaps he screwed over his wife/gf/partner.. perhaps cheated, distant zip code.. perhaps the partner killed herself over it..your edge.. distant zip code.. perhaps gone during the event.. her love spilled out for you...
anyway they made a mess out of his situation somehow.. and is now coming to his old friend(s)..
the only thing is, when he met this girl he completely abandoned and betrayed his friend(s), and now his old friend(s) don't want to have anything to do with him. Or at least he/they'd rather see him deal with the consequences of his actions
the reason I say friend(s) or they.. is due to the line about the singer "not running this place"; it could be in reference to their old social circle.
