Should I decide it’s true? That you might leave if given half the chance to go and I be left here on my own, to find myself in bed, wishing everything that changed would be the same.
Room still looks like you, it’s so nice and all the pictures on the shelf, dusted off by someone else, to keep me company, having told her that your thoughts still linger on.
Everyday is another chance to bury my regret. Everyday is another chance to make it, but I can’t, but I can’t, but I can’t.
I saw you on my phone, on a contact list that isn’t up to date, would’ve changed it with more time, I required to. In my mind with all the freckles on your face. I reconciled with you’re ring I bought you is buried deep within the ground, behind the swing where we first met, a memory on this earth to remind of all the bruises that you forgave.
Everyday is another chance to bury my regret. Everyday is another chance to make it, but I can’t, but I can’t, but I can’t.
Should I decide it’s true, to return if given half the chance to go? And it’s not true, but it’s not true.

it is an amazing song!
I think the part about the bruises, though, isn't literal. The bruises are probably all the stuff he did that hurt her.
It's really sad. The regret and the denial. Makes the song so much more beautiful :)
'THE BRUISES YOU FORGAVE...' There was physical abuse in the relationship-- probably the cause of her leaving and/or death?
''Everyday's another chance to bury my regret...'' He is clearly sorry. And the repeated use of the word 'BURY' and 'A memory on this EARTH' [Which she is no longer on] gives a hint that she is infact dead.
He is in a relationship ''Dusted off by someone else...'' He isn't disclosing who the someone else is, hesitant because he is clearly still inlove with his ex and thinks she can hear him when he speaks. He goes further 'to keep my company' almost like he shruggng off his current girlfriend as a friend.
I LOVE WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS!!! I NEED TO SEE HIM LIVE. LET ME KNOW WHEN HE IS IN CALIFORNIA!!! :)
I agree with jrlaffrey that this song is most likely about a relationship that's ended but reason is probably death.
Either way it's a beautiful song. Fitzsimmons is an amazing writer.

this is due to the fact that he is living with a memory. the first line of the song drove this point home for me. "Should I decide it’s true? That you might leave if given half the chance to go and I be left here on my own, to find myself in bed, wishing everything that changed would be the same." clearly, his memory is keeping her alive and he is in charge of the "decision" to keep her around. Also in the lines, "Room still looks like you, it’s a mess and all the pictures on the shelf, dusted off by someone else, to keep me company, having told her that your thoughts still linger on." only in a situation similar to a death would another woman respect and accept that their partner still has feelings for their previous lover.
just a hunch...who knows...just listen to the song with that concept in mind. there are several subtle hints that suggests that she has passed.
