1) There's no hate, there's no love
2) Only dark skies that hang above
3) I call your name as I walk alone
4) Send a signal to guide me home
5) Light the night up, you're my dark star
6) And now you're falling away
7) But I found in you, what was lost in me
8) In a world so cold and empty
9) I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
10) In the dead of night, you went dark on me
11) You're the cause, the antidote
12) The sinking ship that I could not let go
13) You led my way and disappeared
14) How could you just walk away and leave me here?

22) You were all I've got to guide me home
23) I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
24) In the dead of night, you went dark on me
25) Dark on me, dark on me, dark on me
26) Dark on me, dark on me

1 We never hated each other, but now you're gone and so is the love.
2 Now there's a cloud of grief above, following me around.
3 I need you now that I'm alone.
4 You left me behind and I need you again.
5 (My) best guess is that Dustin means this as a metaphor. Dark stars are objects (possibly stars, they don;t know) that give off little light, so even the slightest presence of them "lit my night up". 6 The light you gave off is dimming; or, in literal terms, there isn't even a slightest presence anymore
7 You brought out a part of me that I thought was gone forever.
8 I was feeling lost and alone before you came to save me.
9 I feel secure enough just staring at you, knowing that you're here and alive
10 Out of no where, you left me.
11 The fact that you're gone is the reason for why I'm in pain, and the antidote ____is your presence once again.
12 You (a ship) are leaving my life (sinking) but I can't let go of the idea of you.
13 You guided me and instantly vanished

22 You were all I had in this world.

Overall, I'm not exactly sure what the story is, but I think it's either about suddenly being dumped by someone who you thought it was going great with, or it's about losing someone to death (where it says "I could lie awake just to watch you breathe, that could mean that, at this point, just knowing that they're not dead is comfort enough) ("sinking ship" and "dark star" could both mean that death was slowly approaching and life was fading). Either way, it's about losing the only one that really mattered to you.
(note: I copied and pasted the lyrics and I'm too lazy to review, so I apologize if I missed a correction)
@Breaking carl I can definitely say that I agree with you in the sudden loss of a loved one, but there are several things I'd like to point out that make me think of losing a loved one to death specifically. A terminal illness or something similar; something that was known: his cause and antidote, the sinking ship reference. She's his dark star, she may not have lit up the skies like the rest of the stars, but he saw her very difference. Felt her radiation.

The lyric about "How can you just walk away and leave me here?" This is a very real experience for anyone who's lost a spouse. They can feel slighted, hurt by the fact that their significant other seemingly gave up/gave in and passed on. Most people feel 'left behind' when their spouse simply leaves them, relationship wise, but this specifically said 'leave me here' - in the land of the living.
He could lie awake at night and watch her breathe every night, simply knowing s/he was alive. Yet "in the dead of night, you went dark on me" - he saw their last breath, see them pass in their sleep.
"Blinded I can't do this on my own" is also a very powerful lyric lending toward this; many who are left behind feel like they can't do this on their own, blinded by the life and love they once, a beacon of light that's now gone dark and their image burnt into retina/memory.

@Breaking carl I totaly agree with you. I was looking for the meaning of this song and I think I've found it thank you.
