He tells me I'm all he's got

That I won't be the last
Suggesting that the speaker won't be the last person to leave the person mentioned in line 1.
To look in
Hinting at an introspective or reflective moment, possibly related to leaving.
That I won't be the last
Repetition of the idea that others will follow in leaving.

He thinks about me

He tells me

There's no one he'd rather see

But I know, I know

I told him

The feeling's come and gone

I knew all along

Someone's waiting
Introducing the theme that someone else is waiting for the speaker.
I told him
Communication to the person from line 1 about the speaker knowing the relationship's fate from the beginning.
I knew right from the start

I won't keep waiting
