I think this is about a bad relationship that one of the band members has had, and how it changed them, and how they lost all that they had before.

Sitting in the dark I can’t forget
Even now I realize the time I’ll never get
(He can't forget everything that happened in that relationship)

Another story of the bitter pills of fate
I can’t go back again,
I can’t go back again
(Another story how fate can make bad things happen)

But you asked me to love you when I did
Traded my emotions for a contract to commit
(How she asked him to love her and he did, and he gave everything for her love)

And when I got away I only got so far
(When we left her, he didn't get far)

The other me is dead,
(The old him is gone)

I hear his voice inside my head
'We were never alive
And we won’t be born again'
(He hears the old him telling him it was a stupid idea. That him and the girl were never going to work out, and they won't work out if he tries again)

But I’ll never survive
With dead memories in my heart
(But he'll have to just grin and bear it as he can't go on if he holds all of his old memories close to him)

You asked me to love you when I did
Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit
(Showing a different story, this says that she forced him to love her, or possibly tricked him into it)

So when I got away I only kept my scars
(When he left her, he only kept the bad memories)

The other me is gone,
And now I don’t know where I belong
(The old him is gone, and now he doesn't know what to do and where to go)

Dead visions in your name
Dead fingers in my veins
(All the good things he had have died in her name)

EPIC SONG!
