I think she is talking about a relationship she has or had with someone that she longs to be with but that person has a completely different path in life. One that separates them through many miles. I'm guessing different countries as well. She knows that as of now, there is no sign they will ever cross paths again. In the first half of the song, I think she is talking more in general about why "life is not what you wanted". I think this becomes more evident once people start to leave and you feel like you are stuck in the same places you don't want to be. Perhaps, she'll never be satisfied because she just wants to be near this person. I think the lying part and the " broken by people like me" refers to how her plans to see this person might turn more into lies towards not only herself but to that person as well because it's so difficult for them to stay in touch. Throughout the song she reminds this person, "I hurt too" and I will be missing you. The end of the song is beautiful...it's her basically saying, I have to accept that you are in a place that you love and you'll never let go of. She continues to give her blessings saying, I know you'll find peace where you're at, which in turn relieves from some of the hurt.
