For me, this song is about two people that were in a relationship. For the one singing, he is really in love with whoever he is singing about. It's the kind of love that, to him, would have been forever. He tries so hard, constantly giving his love to this person. He has finally given his complete heart and soul, all invested in this person, but the other person hasn't even given him half of that. He would go to the ends of the earth with or for this person, but he would not receive the same treatment. Eventually, it's too much. Giving everything you have to someone and receiving very little in return has consumed his thoughts, so he just wants something. Just for the other person to say something, maybe that they really do love him and can't live without him or just a simple "please don't go, I need you." For the whole song, he's waiting, drawing it out just to give them more chances. Finally, he knows that he will never be as loved as he loves this person, so he swallows his pride, swallows that gut feeling that he's doing something wrong and should turn back, and instead says goodbye. Once a fighter, he has now admitted defeat, he has now given up on this person.
A very sad song :-(
