I think it's the morning after a 'dark night of the soul' when he is confronting the mess he's made of his life and realizing he can't make it right again. The young girls with their fingers in his curls are never going to replace the one who got lost along the way.

That song is filled with such gut wrenching raw emotion, it always amazes me that he could sing about it publicly. I'm sure most of us only discuss our personal screw-ups so honestly with our very closest friends or therapists even.
