This song is pretty obviously a breakup song... but I really think whats important about it is that it is reflecting on a relationship, all of which have both good and bad parts, and wondering literally where all the good things go when its over. After a breakup, especially if 2 people really loved each other, they tend to HATE each other and feel really bitter. where does the good go? how can you love someone and then after you break up can there be so much ugliness?
More importantly, i think the song is about that moment when your partner fully resolves that its over, especially when you haven't.
"look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it wont happen
its love that leaves and breaks the seal"
in my experience, theres this moment when you break up with someone you love and have been dating for years, and after all the fights you've had you never actually expect the other person to finally decide that it's over. You just want to make up like you do every other time you fight. But something has changed in their heart- the love has left and no matter how much you beg them to to forgive you or get over it like every time... something has changed and you have to accept that for them, it's over.
