I think he wrote this song after an argument with his girlfriend.
It seems he really hurt her. "hide away the messes", "reflection left in tears" shows that she isn't very happy with herself.
In the chorus he seems overload and exhausted. And too tired to hold on.
"And all of my obsessing, to find the perfect words/tell me what was it worth." shows he tries to help her to feel better but it doesn't work.
He understands that hurting her makes her feel sick and also him.
I guess at "Guess I should have learned my lesson ..." he really realized that although the drama she is the only one for him.
"Wake me early, I've been dreaming. Dreaming that I'm only, only good enough for me and no one else" he realized he was wrong, be mad with her, and she is the only one no matter what.
I can imagine that his feelings changed a lot as he wrote this song. For me it really seems he realized that she is the the only one while he wrote that song.
