This song is definitely about true love which was only one-sided. She feels like she isn't getting something she needs from him, so she moves on, but even if he can't show it, he knows he loves her far beyond anything else.
"Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could"
Basically what I said above, and the idea that he did something to hurt her but he doesn't fully regret it. Either that, or he just can't apologize for loving her so much.
"All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is 'it could take my whole damn life to make this right'
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong"
He sees she's going to end the relationship, but he keeps hanging on to the sinking ship.
"The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love"
She was his last hope - and perhaps his first love (from a long time ago). She changed him, but then she left him, and now he's saddened and hasn't a clue what to do without her.
"We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore?
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes"
He keeps begging for another chance, but she's done with him. She tries to be kind about the break-up, but the "kind words" perhaps hurt him even more. He knows the "time apart" is meant to mean "forever."
"The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love"
same as above, repeated to show emphasis as he breaks down
"And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
Please just save me from this darkness"
Pretty straightforward. He knows for certain now that the relationship is over, but he has nothing to look forward to in his life anymore. He's just an empty shell who wants to give up on love but unfortunately cannot.

i have been that girl a few times... and it breaks my heart to leave someone in so much pain. :(
