I might as well just say it from a base perspective that this song is about love. But what about love? The fact that the recurring and beginning line of the song is "I found in the dark / I found you in the dark", like a mantra of disbelief as she goes onto plead "Don't leave me / Here". The separation of the word 'here' seems to imply that she's now in the dark, the one that she loves isn't any longer, and the worst part of all is that he's moving past her while she still loves him. She built him up and nurtured him and loved him and now he's grown past her, and she absolutely hasn't grown past him. She even loves him through this decision.
