I think it's about a relationship that has ended and the characters possibly lived together, hence the whole packing of the clothes thing...especially with the whole 'everything that could remind you of how easy i was not' sort of as if her clothes were still there, he would constantly be reminded of how bad things had become between them.
'You saw me rise to our occasion
And so deny the evidence
'Caused me to burn and twist and grimace against you
Like something caught on a barbed wire fence'
I think at this part and onwards it's the narrator going through what happened when they actually broke up, this particular part makes me think she didnt want to, that she fought the decision as much as she could which is then carried on with the whole 'it does not suffice to say..' meaning she wanted a lot more than when she got by the end of it.
The last 2 verses are so well written in theme with the rest of the song, it seems as if the narrator is under the impression that her lover just gets on with things whilst she is obsessing over them and that everything that was once theirs together is now just his, which is exactly what happens when a relationship ends.
So beautiful!
