The protagonist is waiting for his partner and feeling frustrated with their useless behavior. They keep asking for forgiveness and hoping for something more, but they only drain him emotionally. He is asking them to leave and move on. The chorus repeats the idea that something was left behind and they all fall through, suggesting a feeling of emptiness or disappointment. The outro repeats the same phrases, emphasizing the unresolved feeling.
