Its about two people who used to be really close or in love and drifted apart. But after a falling out or breakup, now they are like strangers to each other. They avoid each other and pretend they don't know each other.

"It's like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise" - The warmth (sun) of whatever they had "set" and never came back.

I think in this song its talking about two people who used to be in love. But personally, I think of old friends I used to have who I never see or speak to anymore. And if by chance I do see them again, we act like strangers, even though we used to be really close. "I saw you again, it felt like we had never met."
