When I listen to this song I picture a man thinking back to a person he loved and lost; a man, who has put time and effort into creating something functional, something for him and his loved one to share. However, their relationship becomes rough and hurtful to a point where it is dysfunctional. Devastated and furious, he learns to accepts what has come to them.
I think that this song is about someone who sacrificed a lot for someone they love; who, for some reason, broke their heart. I don't think that this person necessarily passed away or left them, but perhaps that they "dimmed up", became unreachable to the person, without any ability to share a life with the person.
I imagine an Alzheimer patient becoming more and more distant as the time goes by, or someone who went through something traumatic (possibly together with the person) that destroyed them. I imagine the person watch it happen, without being able to do a thing to stop the process and I imagine him (in the chorus) to find it unfair. "I built a home for you and for me, just to have it taken away by this, and now I have to give up and realise it is all gone"
