Well, a few lines in those lyrics are wrong. I'm gonna work with what I know and give my personal interpretation of this song :)
At first, the song gives off a feeling of an aftermath of some sort, and considering in the first verse 'we both landed somewhere in between' somehow confirms that suspicion.
The lines "The more you talk the less it means" seems to be going in the direction of trying to explain to someone that 'sorry' isn't quite enough, that the damage has been done, and she is exhausted.
and "While with flesh and blood I still bleed." basically gives hint at the fact that she is singing about someone related to her, I'm going to use 'sister'. (but this could be anyone i.e Father, mother, brother, son, daughter etc.)
Then the chorus 'But maybe on the streets of glory', gives a dark surprise of realising that she is singing about someone who has perhaps died, and that one day she may be able to walk with them again, and that she has been 'arguing' with herself on behalf of the sister due to her frustration of her leaving her alone on Earth. They left with no proper goodbye, and she is confused by grief and perhaps the 'sudden' event of her death.
The line:
"It may hurt to leave but it's worse to hold your hand" explains that she is trying to let go, to overcome it and accept that she is gone, in the hope that she may see her again on the 'streets of glory'.
"I will be your memento mori" = A 'Memento Mori' is something you keep/have as a reminder that we are mortal beings, to remind you that you cannot avoid death.
I hope this makes a little sense, even if it's 'wrong', I just wanted to share my interpretation. :)
