I think the meaning of this song is fairly obvious. It's about a relationship that fell apart without her realizing it would come to an end.

They were her everything but she couldn't see any notion that it would end underneath all of the "silver linings."

She goes on to say that the Romance just is. Nothing more. It's just there and it doesn't belong. She feels heartbroken and implies that it was the other person's fault.

I love the line "With a little poison we can burn this whole place down to the ground again." To me it means that small things can ruin even the best laid plans.

The meaning was pretty easy but there it is if anyone, for whatever reason, was lost.
