The letting people down and the alcohol are two different people. She let him down because her body couldn't keep a promise. To me that suggests she cheated on him which would go along with the rest of the album.
She cheated on him and left him. But he still loves her. He dreams that she'll return and start to make things right.
Hearing the door open symbolizes somebody entering his life. But he only ever has people leave him. He begins to feel angry and wishes that the airplane she left on had crashed (A line that links this song to Andria and Fairmount).
Finally he turns to alcohol to solve his problems. It makes him better able to deal with his fear of the past. But it doesn't last long and soon the ghosts of the past come back to haunt him once again. He also asks her to please stay away because her returning will only make his problems worse.
