This song, I think, is about a lover who's interest was dark and insensitive, something she believed to herself she could change. She tried to open out his sentimental side, and tried her best, but he was blind to the lessons she was trying to show him. She would have thought there was a "breaking beauty" within him, but so far, was bypassed within his mind, and was "just to stay awake". But only after he made a powerfully negative response which made her give up and turn away, "when all his work was done", he saw that he had missed an opportunity, and had changed his attitude "he walked out in the sun", but only when it was too late. And she contemplated over how soulless he was the whole time, which was something she felt stupid for having not seen, as it was "right here all along". And any further responses she would get from him "exhaled the dark and grey".
