I think this song is about feeling powerless to loosing someone. To me the protagonist knows what he should be doing but he doesn't. Its not clear if its due to a low self esteem on behalf of the protagonist or an underlying apathy in the relationship. It's also one of the most beautifully sad pieces of music and really conveys the hopelessness of the situation. Fantastic song!

Sad this comment doesn't have more ups, it's more accurate than any of the other interpretations here. This is exactly what the song is about.

Cheers betsapp91. Just felt I seen the song a different way to those posts above. Had to make it heard
