I think it's about someone who has locked themselves away from the rest of the world, and kind of living in a fantasy world of their own - a bit like Avoidant Personality Disorder. They have probably had a tough old time in life and have decided to play it safe, and sort of 'stay on track'. I actually love this song, so much.
It's like they are pretending that everything in their life is ok, hence the 'big facade to hide the cracks'. Putting on a front, but not knowing how much longer you can keep it up. It's really sad, it sounds kind of desperate, the way Alex sings it :(
Especially love the lines:
"Sometimes the sickness is the cure"
"You're searching so hard, you've lost yourself"
"It takes a big facade to hide the cracks"
"Regrets a waste of time and plans will change, some for the best, some for the worst, you know you can't always get your way. So worried about what's next, you lost today"
