I would say this song is much like what "the phil" says. A man whose problem with alcohol starts to ruin him and he almost pulls down his loved one with him. I would guess that the guy ended up ruined begging for change, telling fake stories to whomever will listen.
The "palm upturned burnt blue" could be part of the begger life. A palm upturned begging for money, burnt blue from the harsh cold life on the street.
The girl seems to make it out ok for the most part, still has a job, just memories of the old boyfriend left. Perhaps he died, seeing that she "wakes up to an empty night, with tears for two". However maybe im reaching :-)
