A lot of people have been saying this song is about broken relationships, but my take on it is that it's about looking inward. Hell_I_call_my_head pretty much said it. It's about Lane (or perhaps Jerry) looking backward at what a mess they've made of their lives, their regrets, the things that they can't get over, the things that they have to hide from themselves and other people.
Listen to this song thinking about what its like to have done something that you can never forgive yourself for, and trying to live with it despite nobody else forcing any guilt over you. When you've experienced complete regret, to the point where you hate yourself inside, that's when this song really makes sense.
The two people mentioned aren't two people at all, they're one person and their own view of themselves. It's about someone being confronted by their own personal demons, they're at the end of the road thinking "what the fuck is my life now?" "how am I supposed to live with myself?" "what the hell have I done? What the fuck have I become?"
