This song is certainly about a death. Beit a relationship or a life, but likely both. Perhaps the writer really cared for someone suffering with Depression that committed suicide. This song speaks of unresolved feelings for someone who may have been on and off in the writer's life ("draws us closed AGAIN"). "Again" and possibly for the last time. I get the feeling it's depression from the line "I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow", and people who have depression have a higher likelihood of committing suicide without treatment. When someone close to you commits suicide it is as if they "stole" your heart, because you could never resolve to make it right again. Very sad lyrics, put to very beautiful music. It is a fantastic track.
