In my opinion, it's about a girl who he thought would be the love of his life, but she made a big mistake and dumped him. He was left so heartbroken and was still madly in love with her, despite knowing that she hurt him very badly (maybe cheating). Before she had a chance to realize the mistake she made or before he could confess he is still in love with her, she dies in a car accident and is left with the thought that he didn't do enough to get her back before he was too late. He is driven to the point of suicide just to be with her. "And only she can set him free" obviously means that the only thing that could have made him happy was her love.
The lyrics to The Killers are absolutely amazing. Can't wait for their new 2012 Album!!
This is one of my favorite songs by The Killers!
