Wake up lonely with you by my side
One more night it doesn't feel
There are movies playing in your eyes
You dream of our fortunes
But you're wrong
I don't belong to you"
I feel like this first verse is pretty self explanatory. 'Wake up lonely with you by my side' signifies he feels empty within the relationship, perhaps revealing that he's lost and/or is losing his feelings towards her. 'You deam of our fortunes' - meanwhile, she's still completely in love with him, expecting that they'll be together forever. She sees the life they could have, all the 'fortunes' they could gain in the future; what their life will be like. Then he turns around and says she's wrong to think these things, because he knows they won't have that future. He 'doesn't belong' to her because he simply doesn't feel the same way about her anymore.
"The moon is the only friend I have outside
One more drink and I'll be healed
I told you the words and then knew it was a lie
I wish I could offer an appeal"
'The moon is the only friend I have outside' is possibly another reference to loneliness. He's trying to drink away his sorrows. The words he's saying (supposedly lies) could be anything really, though you'd assume an 'I love you.' However, it could be anything he says to her that gives her hope for their future or cements his 'feelings' for her.
"What I'd give for that first night when you were mine
Tried with all that I have to keep you alive
I wasn't taught this way
With a thousand things to say
I was born with a broken heart
What I'd give for that first night when you were mine
Thought you were mine"
This is the game changer. This verse suggests that he's still trying to hold onto their relationship. Maybe, just as much as he isn't ready to admit that they're drifting apart to her, he isn't ready to admit it to himself either. He wants that spark back from when they first met. When he says he 'tried so hard to keep her alive' I believe he's referring moreso to the relationship and his feelings for her. Though he knows it's ending, it's clear he isn't quite ready to give up on the relationship yet either.
"So I'll put this cigarette to bed
Pull some sheets from off your side
I put my arm around you safe in the night
Still dreaming of fortune
But you're wrong
I don't belong"
Self explanatory again. This is him playing pretend, falling back into the patterns of their relationship despite all he's just expressed, and yet again acknowledging that they aren't meant to be together and will not last.
