I think that part that says "Some you lose, and some you give away" is about break-ups. More specifically, who initiates the break-up. "Some you lose" means that some break up with you, and "some you give away" means that some you break up with.
I think the song is about someone who has been given away though. I especially love the line "I left some candles by the side of your house in case you got lost and needed showing out". It means that even though the narrator has been given up, they aren't giving up. I really wish someone would write something like that about me. :)
