Consider the odds
Consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless
The campaign has died
In the planning stages
And the fallen faces
Are the singular proof
That it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue
Conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
To boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
Consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless
The campaign has died
In the planning stages
And the fallen faces
Are the singular proof
That it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue
Conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
To boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain

This is what I interpreted from the song.
He fell in love with a girl who fooled him and played with him . He let this girl get the best of him. He did all that he could to make the girl stay with him because he still loved her but in the end she left anyway. But he put a good fight even though he lost.
Then the line, As you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who will listen While you’re left with nothing tangible to gain, i think the bitter bragging rights are basically her right to bitch about how he cheated to anyone who will listen. and he's saying fine you have that right, but why end this now, why end it like this, this can still be perfect, but if you end it now no one wins, we're championless. don't give me this speach, this slowly crafted monologue about how you're giving up, i need you a lot more than i thought i did, you're my only hope.
And i know im jumping around here, but then the lines, Hope has sprung a perfect dive A perfect day A perfect lie. he's saying he was hopeful she might give him another chance, and he thought about all the things he'd do different and how things will be perfect, and he dived right into it, but in reality it was all one big perfect lie, because she delivers him this speech about how their done, how they will never be together again
thats my take on the song anyway
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
As you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who will listen
While you’re left with nothing tangible to gain
