I think this song is about an emotionally damaging on-off relationship, and the girl is finally making the decision to end the relationship, therefore asking him to "turn your face and walk away".
It seems to me that it is hard for the girl to break up with the guy as she says "turn your face, walk away and stay". Seems like she is a bit confused about what she wants, hence the reason why she keeps taking him back even though she knows that he'll just bring "a thousand cracks"
The line where they sing "In my memory, I was hurting, long before we met" says to me that she was broken and damaged from a previous relationship and she just wants to love and trust the guy she is with now, but knows that she can't and they can't be together.
This girl and guy break up and she lets him back into her life again and again, because she wants to believe that he has changed, even though she knows that he hasn't. I think this time she is telling him to leave and walk away, because she knows that their relationship just won't work.

Sorry if I'm wrong, just my opinion ...
