I think that this song is about when you see someone and think they are a certain way and you keep believing it until the reality of who that person truely is smacks you in the face. Your opinions and expectations of someone are crushed because you were too naive to look at them as anything more than what you wanted.
"Oh my story is not the oldest of its kind.
I was to touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
whose world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes."
This basically says that this is a common thing(my story is not the oldest of its kind). You see and like someone from the first impression and think that their whole life is like what they were. You create this whole world in your mind for them. "The sweet smoke came with mirrors and it brought tears to my wide eyes" says that the world you created was an illusion, some wishful thinking that was shattered and the shock of that hurts.
"Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued
your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you
while you shared that cigarette."
You wanted to see them but when you did you learned you were wrong. The shared cigarette is supposed to symbolize the truth of how that person was not as perfect as you had imagined.
"Oh I saw you every time I close my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well,
I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!"
This says that the fantasy was obviously created like a movie in your head. You knew everything about the person that you'd created but the person had not done what you had wanted them to do. You spent so much time creating who they were but they turned out all wrong from the flawless persona you had given them.
"Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread
your blue heart, black eyes,
feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you
while you shared that cigarette."
This is mostly the same as the first verse except that now it's as though your world fell apart and you die because you didn't see the person for what they were.

Well, that's my two cents.
