What's this song about?

1
Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken
2
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken
3
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers
4
And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers
5
There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour
6
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
7
As you creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake him
8
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
9
There's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door
10
But the part of you that knows that you can't take it any more
11
There's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
12
And you're torn if you should leave him with a number
13
And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away
14
Because too many of his promises got broken on the way
15
So you write it in a letter all the things you couldn't say
16
And you tell him that you're never coming home
17
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation's right
18
And there's a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night
19
A place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day
20
She'll take a job she'll find a friend she'll make a life that's better
21
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella
22
And there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her
23
There's nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
24
She'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let her
25
Now in her imagination she's a million miles away
26
When too many of his promises got broken on the way
27
So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn't say
28
And she told him she was never coming home
29
She told him she was never coming home
30
I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head
31
I call her name there's no reply it's not like her to let me lie
32
It's time for work it's time to go but something's different I don't know
33
I need a cup of coffee I'll feel better
34
I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor
35
It really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face
36
I'm not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late
37
I'm almost done and then I see the letter
38
In his imagination she's a universe away
39
Too many of his promises got broken on the way
40
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say
41
And she told him she was never coming home,
42
She told him she was never coming home,
43
She told him she was never coming home
44
I'm gonna live my life
45
And she told him she was never coming home
46
I'm gonna live my life in my own way
