I think both he and the girl are fed up with life as everyone said but she was so fed up that she commited suicide. "You thought suicide was an alibi" he then talks about her in past tense "But you were always a mess, You were always aloof" and how he sings that "It was truth from the first to the LAST words that she read". And then I think the last part is about how he cant stop thinking about her "And she emerged from the dark Like a GHOST in my head" and he wishes he could have done more for her because now hes all alone and misses her.
I think this is it but it goes further into being abandoned. The third verse really sums it up.. "You wanna run away, run away / Just get on the fucking train and leave today". You don't runaway with other people especially if its a spur of the moment thing. He goes on proclaiming her loneliness and anger, "Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself". She would do anything to connect to another person even fight but she's so alone she can only fight with herself.

And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In...
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
I think these are the most important part because the title specifically draws attention to the well. She wants to be tossed as if tossed into a wishing well. She wants someone to have faith in her just as someone would put all their hopes into the coin they wished on. This is what she wants but it doesn't happen. Instead she's just discarded. There's no wish, hope, or faith attached to her.
To go along with the suicide, "Feeling your head pop" could be a gunshot. "And I gather the ashes / In that hole in the ground", is an allusion to the grave and cremation.
