"what might have been
was never
the way you envisioned things."
I interpret this song as being about a girl who doesn't see things as they really are. She only sees things as she WANTS them to be. She doesn't seems to realize that she "can't escape what makes her tragic."
"Nothing common suits you. You live again in solitary."
Nobody sees things the way that she does. She is not satisfied with the common things that the majority is satisfied with. This creates a solitary life for her.
"something painful's with you dear
makes me want to be with you."
This is from the perspective of the man. He is attracted to her because of her pain. Maybe because he understands it.
