For some reason, every time I think of this song I imagine it being about a parent treating a child wrong and coming back to fix things but the child is still bitter and hurt by everything that happened in the past and can't find anything in them to forgive and doesn't see the person really changed at all. Even if the person isn't even trying to fix anything, that person in pain still feels hurt and this is their way of letting that frustration out.
This is exactly how this song relates to me. The two lines that mean the most to me are:

"you have no right to ask me now, you were never that around"
"you have no right to ask me now, you were never that around"
It speaks to me in that I have a biological mother who chose to give me away, acts like it never happened, still treats me like an outsider even though I've made too many attempts these past years in trying to build a relationship with her. When we are around each other, she acts like everything is ok - wants to know how I am, but she can't pick up a phone to call me or come see me and her grandson. She has no right to try to act like somewhat "motherly" to me now. She doesn't deserve it.
and
"you will get yours"
I my case, it sounds like I'm hoping for vengeance to darken her days. But in reality, I feel that the day will come when she will finally wake up and realize the opportunity she has so easily cast aside all these years, in building a relationship. But it will be too late.

So, yes, I totally agree with this.
