Hear me out. I'm getting a different vibe from this song. I think they had an argument because she's having an affair. She's left, and he's waiting for her to come home. She might not come home, though: she's with her other man.
Oh, and this is not the first time it's happened, either: the bridge fully implies that this happens regularly: "I know I said it before/I hate the sound of the closing door/and your footsteps walking away."
It's kind of sad: this time, she might not come back, and he's alone at home waiting for her.
