He mumbles a lot of the words (sounds like he's drowned his sorrows), but it's clear the emotional tone of the song.
He's in a world of hurt, as his love is breaking apart.
Seems like he cheated on her ("by temptation as it runs") and he's sorry, but sorry's not good enough.
Also seems like she's very fragile (she's alright when I'm there, but she's not when I'm gone).
The most poignant part is that even when she's beside him "I'm not there I'm gone." They can't connect anymore.
