This song eithers associates with loss of a significant other in terms of a more alive state, being that this talks about;
"You're somewhere else with someone real
You're laughing in their arms
While I'm in the dark,"
This is very obvious about the other person moving on, while the chorus goes on about the Heart-Shaped Hologram, being metaphorical about nostalgia and not moving on;
"I keep you in a heart-shaped hologram
I take you everywhere I am
It almost seems like you're with me
Even though a heart-shaped hologram
Could never love me back or hold my hand
I still don't know how to let you go,"
The titular Hologram is the singer reliving memories and generally clinging onto them, being quite lost in how to actually let this go. It is not literally a hologram, just the idea and memory of a person.
