Well, looking at the video, and considering the break up of the song, i think it goes like this:

"You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken
so conditioned I could never let go"

It's not just a boyfriend/girlfriend. It's anyone you ever loved.

"Then sorrow, then sickness
then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
so afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held "

They left, they're gone

"Back up, no, I'll hold myself.
Check the rep, yep you know my rail"

Sadness turns to anger, bitterness, wondering why they left you

"And these promises broken
deep, feeble
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you go
Go, go, go."

Promises of always being there were broken, and they are finally accepting the fact that they're gone.

"THIS TIME I FINALLY LET YOU GO"

So, this song is about letting a loved one go. Looking at the video, it seems like the guy is Death maybe, and he's come to help the souls move on.
