im not sure if this was already said, but most of the music on Gutterflower (including this song) was written after John Rzeznick's divorce with his wife at the time. so, im thinking that this song definitely has to do with relationships, and possibly his relationship with his exwife.
what i think is going on in this song is that two people who are in a relationship and its goin fine. then they hit a bump, an argument, and it turns into a falling out. this opens the speaker's eyes to the flaws of the girl and of the relationship. he realizes that she was previously "broken" before she came into the relationship, and she never let go of that hurt, and it held her back and led her to lie and pretend to be someone else who she thought the speaker would love more (all your lies werent enough to keep me here). the girl thought that he would fix her, she thought he was the answer. but he wasnt, and she just pulled him down with her. so they are breaking free. ending it. the last few lines arent just hope for him, but also him telling her that healing is out there. that the answer to her problems is out there, but he isnt the solution. its a bit of hope during a dark moment.
