He's with someone who he's not into anymore ("Wake up lonely with you by my side"). He's lost the feeling ("One more night it doesn't feel"), but he cannot tell her. She's oblivious to the fact that he's not into her anymore ("There are movies playing in your eyes") and, worse, he tells her things he knows are not true ("I told you the words and then knew it was a lie"). He tries, however, to get back to where they started ("Tried with all that I have to keep you alive"), even fantasizes about it ("What I'd give for that first night when you were mine").
The line that confuses me a little is: "I wasn't taught this way. With a thousand things to say."
I think he's saying that his upbringing was to be less emotional, which explains why he seems resigned to his lonely fate with his mate. And the cigarette he's putting to bed is the "bad habit" of daydreaming about a different life ("So I'll put this cigarette to bed"). He's going back to simply pretending ("I put my arm around you safe in the night. Still dreaming of fortune. But you're wrong").

Sad and yet, we've all been there.
