This is how I see it, what it means to me. Because I've been through something similar to this.
"I know that things are broken
And though there's too many words left unsaid
You say you have spoken
Like the coward I am, I hang my head"
he says that there are too many words left unsaid,
because there's things that he wishes he could say
to change the girl's mind. but the girl has
already spoken, and she doesn't want to hear anything more.
and like the coward that he is, he shuts up and gives up.
"And you lay careless your head on my chest
And don't even look at me looking my best
And all these things I can't describe
You would rather I didn't try"
the girl doesn't notice that he's looking his best for her,
the girl doesn't seem to care.
and all of the things that he wants to say, but doesn't know how to
she rather him not say anything or try to fix things.
"But please don't cry, you liar
Oh please, don't cry, you liar"
the girl is crying because she does care, and she
feels really bad about leaving him and about what she's doing
but she just can't love him. or stay with him. and he sings it like
he's angry, and he doesn't believe that
the girl cares or loves him because she's leaving, so he calls her a liar.
"They told me love was a fortress
And I had never put it to the test
And all the while I relied on this honesty
Well in love we are all amateurs at best
But please don't cry, you liar
Oh please, don't cry, you liar
Oh please, don't cry, you liar
Oh please, don't cry, you liar"
and the stories that everyone kept telling him about love,
about how it supports you and protects you and feels amazing
and that he doesn't know it because he's never tried it
he believed those stories and believed that it was his fault
that relationships never worked so he gave his all to this girl
and after this he realized that no one is an expert at love
and he can't change the fact that she's leaving.
"And you lean in for your last kiss*
And who in this world could ask me to resist
Your hands cold as they find my neck
All this love that I've found I detest"
she wants a last kiss,
and no one in this world could ever get him to resist
because he wants and loves this girl so much.
and her hands cold, (i didn't see it as she was heartless,
i just thought this is how her hands felt when she touched him)
and all the love that he felt in his heart for her,
he started to hate it and wish he never felt it.
and he feels sick to feel it.

I feel as if her "hands being cold and as they find my neck" means that its as if she is dead to him because it is an empty feeling.
