To me, this song is about a split up couple. One of them is pretty sure that he/she is still in love with the other (first verse). That person resolves to try to win back the other's love by telling them that she/he is still in love with them (second verse). Somehow, she/he has an idea that even if she hangs on to this broken relationship and tries to fix things, it won't make much of a difference anymore -- they are broken up and the relationship is over. She/he also knows that "her place" is not with the person, but still, she/he finds her/himself wanting to still try to rectify things even if there's a big possibility that those efforts end up in vain.
This interpretation also matches the video. The video is somewhat like a flashback of what their relationship was before the car crash (the disaster) -- they were happy, they made love, etc. But the girl pushes the guy away for some reason (other man, etc.), which in turn, breaks them up. She tries to win him back, but it "leads nowhere".
The video presents a conclusion to the song. In the end, they're carried of by medics, off to recovery but each in different paths. I think this means that while the girl tried her best to win the guy back, they ultimately, split up in the end.

Whew! That was long!
Just watched the video again, and you're right. It makes sense now and makes me even more emotional towards the song.
