In the beginning, his love just leaves him for no reason, leaving him in disbelief ('this can't be happening to me'). He finds out that the love between the two were fake, and that it was full of lies ('you were the first to lie, when we were not alright'). And to make matters worse, his true first love left him for someone else.
Then, the really cool transition happens and it is accompanied by a change in tone from piano to a harder rock sound, which also shows his transition in mood.
'I'll be the first to say, that now I'm okay'. This starts off a period where he has recovered from his cruel ex, and is truly moving on in his life. He realizes how bad his ex was and how it wasn't worth it to love her ('And for the first time, I've opened my eyes'). He even warns the person she left him for about her ways at the end, and how the other guy will end up being like how the ex-boyfriend was previously. It shows that the girl will continue the vicious cycle, and that it won't change.
The reason why I really love this song is that it covers both parts of someone leaving: the initial feelings and the hopeful moving on. It's a sad song, yet it's also a very hopeful song in that it shows how he's moved on, and how anyone else who felt cheated by a girl (or guy) can move on just like him.
