Seems pretty straight-forward: a guy and a girl were dating and the guy lost interest pretty fast, assuming he ever had feelings for her at all, and she eventually felt strung along the entire time. She had stronger feelings for him than he did for her.

I like how they use the metaphor of the end of a rainbow to signify the death of their relationship, comparing the usual pot of gold to what a rainbow truly is (mist and sunlight) and ... a whole lot of nothing (an empty lot). Very poetic, I think.
