To me, this song is about a guy who is remembering the end of a relationship that he had with a girl from back home. (hence the title) The relationship was making him suffer, and she didn't want to put any work into the relationship, so they ended it. He's reflecting back on it (Perhaps he saw the girl when he went back home) and realizes that when they were in the relationship, he didn't really know who the girl was personality wise.

I love this song. It's really simple, and even sounds like someone reflecting on the past.
