The beautiful thing about music is how the words and music can be molded perfectly to fit our current situation.
For myself, this song is like a tribute to those who, like me, suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder.
The first verse is just like being inside the mind of someone who suffers from this. You feel insane, "stuck in your old ways" even when you know it's wrong. It's as if your mind is truly in a fog, and yet you can always find the "right words to say" when it's all over to convince those you hurt in your blind rage to forgive you.
The chorus deals more with the confusion, and the blame you place on others for your condition. You feel completely lost, and in the end your loved ones can no longer take it.
The second verse relates to other side of BPD, you smile and push all of the feelings you possibly can deep inside. You try to warn people not to get close to you, trying to get them to understand, and when your self fulfilling prophecy comes true, well, "I'm not the type to say I told you so."
The last verse is the sufferer lamenting their loss of life, family, and friends. They resolve to carry their burdens alone, while still blaming them in a way for not being able to save them. "Goodbye for now" is saying that they will stay away until they get better, and they will "wait until the next sunrise." which could just be when the psychosis, and rage subside.
That's just my own interpretation,and it's obviously very different from the others, but I think anyone with a mental illness can relate.
