While this is obviously about a breakup,I find this song to be very interesting in how much of it concentrates on couple arguing with each other as their about to break up. And how when the girl left she slammed the door on her way out (of the relationship) ,"the resonance of my imperfection broke the silence once more". The narrator is clearly frustrated with how his faults keep getting mentioned in the argument.
The narrator does not want to break up, and is trying to make things better one last time. He is so frustrated to the point where he calls her a "selfish angry bastard who doesn't want to hear" about him wanting to change.
It’s made clear that he is, in fact, NOT given one last chance through the lines "I tried to learn compassion, you turn the other ear.." and we see her being gone made official by how he feels like a "worn out broken record who doesn't fit the mold" and how she is on her own way being a "righteous independent"
(The only part that I'm really not too sure about is the chorus if anyone wants to put in their two cents on that.)
