I think it's about someone who's invested in their career, and works with someone who isn't that into his career as they are, similar to how the singer's Devin Oliver has these issues with former unclean vocalist Zach Johnson.
Eventually, the other person left him, like how Zach left the band to form his own. He wishes his old friend good luck, but he does express frustration-
"I gave you hope!
You buried your chances!
Aren't you the one who said you bled for this?
No you're the one who left in the first place!"
He then moves on and continues on with his life, like so-
"I'm giving up on you
But I'm not giving up on me
Your horse is higher than a skyscraper
Your shadow is starting to fade
Giving up on you
But I'm not giving up on me."
