My interp is that it's a boy who deeply loves a girl. They have been together, but he can feel them drifting apart. He desperately wants to save what they still have, but despite his best efforts, everything is still falling apart. He can feel her feelings fading and despite her reassurances that she still loves him, he wonders if she does at all anymore. Hence the line "SEEMS to be a lie, a guiltless, twisted lie". It implies he isn't 100% sure, but the pain in his heart tells him she probably hasn't loved him for a while. He finally realizes that his heart cannot take the strain of trying to save something that will destroy him in the end, so he must say goodbye. Yet even is his final decision, he still yearns to be hers, and wishes beyond reason that everything could be made right. And so, as he says goodbye, he continues to cry out in despair "Take my pain away, TELL ME I WAS WRONG", almost as if he wishes it all to be an unpleasant dream, because in the end he is still painfully aware that she remains his heart's deepest desire. Great song, and I can really relate
this is like EXACTLY what I'm going through emotionally right now. It's so true for me and you interpretation is the way I interpret the song. It fits - thanks for posting and putting my feelings into words.
