This song was written shortly after the writers father died. They had a rocky relationship, abusive both emotionally and physically if you ask me. His father found out he was sick than died soon after and there wasn't much time for forgiveness or healing. In fact, his father left things worse off and his son got to see what a real piece of **** he was. "You made me see what you'd become and then you left" Much of this song is the writer trying to come to terms with his fathers death and trying to move on with the scars his father left. The main chorus was actually written by some one else. The main chorus was written by a friend who found the writer (years earlier before his father died) when he had tried to commit suicide. It was a literal interpretation of the events. She felt his chest for a heart beat when she found him passed out, and saw he had over dosed and had to make the decision to call 911. She wrote a song about the events, and she agreed to let him use it in this song because it was very applicable.
