I generally have so much love for this song. The bridge is so so good !
"Im through trying to hold onto this,
because you seem to be over it.
So kiss these almond eyes goodbye,
because this, this is the last time you'll see them cry"
It describes perfect the mixture of feelings when it comes to the end of a relationship with a loved one. The contrast in the desperation to kiss them and be with them with that everlasting solitude and comfort that comes with hope, and the angst you feel towards them for their irrefutable actions.
I think the whole song describes a boy, having worked hard for a while to try and fix the foundations and cracks in his weather relationship with a girl, and hes finally had enough of being blamed for the mistakes made, and is making a point that this is the last time hes prepared to deal with the repercussions because he knows its a never-ending circle, and the only way he can make this girl see sense is to show her that hes had enough. Its make or break, and whether she chooses to acknowledge her own mis-doings, swallow her pride and work it out with him, or lose him forever. Even though the song is basically a "fuck you" anthem, you can still recognise the doubt in his voice ever so slightly, and the regret things didnt turn out the way he'd hoped.
