If you listen to the words, he is talking about someone he fell in love with,he knew from the start is wasn't going to work out, but in his heart he thought it might just work out. Even thou he knew it wasn't going to he still fell head over heals for her. She's the one that stole his heart, and the one that broke his heart. I think that he finally realized that no matter how hard he wants it to work it never will so he is saying goodbye.

It's actually pretty simple... If you ever broke up with any one you'll understand the song.
here's the deal, the girl is not dead... He thinks of coming back to her in "kneeling at your feet" and James Blunt is not a ghost...
so, it's about a ending relationship (of course) where you think you know what would go wrong since the beginning, but you want to believe it can work out and try to make it happen and so on... you can see that in "I'm a dreamer and when I'm awake you can break my spirit, it's my dreams you take" and "and I still hold your hand in mine, in mine when I'm asleep" so... He knows it won't work out, but he dreams it could do, but when he wakes up, he realizes the thruth... So she "takes his dreams away"
got it? it's my interpretation, I don't know what James was thinking when he wrote it but it fits to me...

"Should I be feeling guilty, or let the judges frown?" - I left someone. I love him so much, and he couldn't understand how I could be treating him the way I did (back and forth - should we be together or not) and yet love him at the same time. He couldn't understand how I could call him his soulmate... and yet let him go.. after all we have been through, all he's done for me....after EVERYTHING.

Interpretation through actually experience.

It won't work, or I'm too afraid for what will happen, I can't explain the feeling, So I have to let him go for his sake. I have to make that choice for him though he said he would deal with it forever since he loved me that much.. It's about saying goodbye to someone you feel like you can't live without.
