i think what this song is describing is a failing relationship and the desperation of holding on to it, hoping and relying on nothing else but faith to keep you guys together.. because everything else has failed.
the first verse describes how he can't hold on to the things the way they are
'losing blind games' teamed up with 'idea of perfection holds me' is saying that he wants to be perfect for her, but somehow everythign he says or does seems to be wrong
"suddenly i see you change" and "but the mountain never moves" the mountain between them or the mountain of problems still stands there, therefore i would take the 'see you change' as he sees her change away from him.. growing more distant
and from the first verse you know he's tried all he can to no avail.. so he claims 'there's nothing left but hope'..that's the only thing he has to hold on to her
He describes her voice as dead, empty.. and yet he still begs her to trust in him that in time things will be good again because he believes that much in them, if only she'd stay.
my favorite line is 'please say the right words' and the way he sings it.. it's like when you stand there letting someone go you dont' want to and you still love and you just beg and scream in your head that they say something, anything or that you say something that will make the situation suddenly just change.. you desperately want something to change this situation
but nobody does anything 'justified with empty words' her words to him state clearly that she no longer loves him
so upon accepting this he walks away with nothing, but faith. everything else of his is gone, so the only thing he can hold on to is the faith of their love
