I think the verses are about accepting the world as it is "Another tear, another cry, another place for us to die it's not complicated." People will keep crying, people will keep shedding tears, there will keep being places to die, it's not particularly complicated, and you just have to accept it, because that's how the world is.
Then, in the chorus, it's a bit more said. "Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?" I believe this is like "Do you believe in God?" and is supposed to ask if this person thinks there's someone out there protecting him/her, if there's someone out there to make the desicions and make them give sense, in the end. "Float down like autumn leaves." I think this means "come back." Come back, let your sould float back to Earth. "Close your eyes before the sleep." Close your eyes when you die, don't let me see the light leave your eyes. "You're miles away." I believe this means that he/she is in Heaven. "Yesterday you were here with me." That doesn't need any interpretation, it states quite plainly what it means. Maybe no yesterday, but not long ago, either.
Then there's the second verse. The first three lines are the same as the first verse, but the next part is different. "Another love that's gone to waste, another light gone from your face, it's complicated." This is more like, "now you are dead, I have lost the one I love, you're even weaker, I can't reach you anymore, I don't know what to do," as if he's trying to get a response.
"Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?" I think this means, "Now that you now, do you still believe in God?" And is pretty much the same as "Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?" except, in the second chorus, it's more asking for confirmation than asking for an opinion on the subject.
"My symphony played the song that carried you out." I believe this means that he was singing to him/her. Perhaps singing a lullaby, trying to make the person fall asleep so that death would be gentler, and then the last thing the person hears is the sound of the voice, singing him/her to sleep.
