"And everything I held so dear disappeared without a trace."

I think this song is about lost love or missed opportunities. He has come to the realization that his love is slipping away, and he tries to hold on to her and keep her close. Regardless of the meaning, this song is incredibly moving and David's voice only helps to intensify the power of this song.
