This song is basically a warning written from the perspective of someone who has taken their own life. This "narrator" is pleading with you, the listener, to rethink your decision before making it, for it's not what you think it is. The basic point of the song is that sometimes we feel as if nobody would care if we were gone, but there are plenty of people that would and suicide is never the answer.
He says things such as "there's no memories here, just the regrets of the dead" to show that those who have already taken their life are not happy with their decision to do so. Furthermore, he says "I would have been better off if I stayed, spoken to a friend" "there's no one there on the other side, there's nothing more than what I had" to show that there is no simple solution. The song in its entirety is a tale of regret being told to somebody else, the narrator hoping that the person they are telling the tale to will heed their warning and give life another shot.
Overall, this is an absolutely beautiful song with an absolutely beautiful message.
