This version of the song is a suicide note about a person who was alone and didn't realize what he was missing; then fell in love and lost it.
The entire song is sung like a letter being written, describing a normal day for this person. Throughout all the verses, you can see the singer referencing the past in how his life was so dull and monotonous "the day before you came". There are however, a few lyrics that show he is also writing in present tense and those are
"I never even noticed I was blue."
"I must have shut a part of me away."
"I sleep so much these days"
All of these lines are associated with depression. They mention reading "The latest one by Declan Gunn or something in that style." Declan Gunn is a fictional author in the book I, Lucifer. In I, Lucifer, Declan Gunn is a depressed, suicidal alcoholic who's outlook on life is rather bleak and sad. Something of that style to Gunns' writing would be equally depressing and dark.
"It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim,
The day before you came."
This is a powerful verse that describes a person who once had their life in complete order, however unknowingly and ignorant they were to love. Only to be shown the potential behind what could have been and to have it ripped away at the same time.
