This is a song originally by Chris Isaak, but if you compare Isaak's to the version by Melissa Hollick (http://www.melissahollick.com/videos/), Melissa Hollick's version win's hands down. Especially if you listen to it at the ending of the videogame Wolfenstein: New Order (it's the ending song after the protagonist "dies").
My point is that song meanings are shaped by your experiences, whether actual or virtual. So, when the song comes at the end of a movie or a video game, the emotions you feel are the result of your virtual experience -- a result of you living vicariously through the character'.
But even if the experiences are virtual, the emotions are no less real or moving than if they were based on an actual experience.
Anyway, in this case, the song takes on meaning based on your experiences in the video game Wolfenstein: New Order. Specifically, it's about the unrequited love between William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz and Anya Oliwa.
For me, the specific meaning is tied to that one scene where Anya and her resistance fighters are separated from BJ in the elevator by a tiny crack, and she says through the crack:
"We'll get you out of there. We'll go somewhere. I believe there are still places on this earth where people can go and live happy"

"I believe so too, but not for me and for you."
(Elevator separates them).
