I don't know for sure but this site is about discussing song meanings so if I took what I know about previous As Cities Burn lyrics and apply them to this song I would guess his wife finally figured out she's better than him and left. The singer used to mention his own unfaithfulness and feelings of unworthiness in himself when it came to the woman he "loved". (as he said himself "how do you sleep at night next to your wife who you love too much to tell her you don't love her at all") His actions have always contradicted how he feels. He knows how he should treat the woman he loves but all his actions say he doesn't care. Anyway knowing that, this song would seem to say she finally gave up on him for a better life.
The ACB lyrics you quote are from "Terrible, How Terrible For The Great City" (Which that title itself is from Revelation 18) and that song is about his father leaving his family, just like the next song on the CD "The Widow".

"Two Bit" is about the Rapture; I'm not sure if it is meant to be satirical or serious though.
