Whenever I hear this song I always think about a girl who doesn't know her guy is a superhero. As much as he wants to tell her what he's been up to, he can't because it would put her safety at risk. From her perspective she's really hurting because of how distant and 'unfeeling' she thinks he is. She has tried to trust him and believe that he is a good man but the deception and stress of saving the world on a daily basis becomes too much for her and their relationship. So, she leaves him, to his deep regret, never knowing the real reason he is.
