This song is obviously directed to God from the singer's point of view. It's not about a woman or lover at all.
"Pain is alive in a broken heart
The past never does go away
We were born to love and we're born to pay
The price for our mistakes"
Christianity teaches that while man was created to love God, he is a fallen creature who commits sin from birth, and sin must be paid for with a price.
"Grace, she comes with a heavy load
Memories, they can't be erased
Like a pill I swallow that makes me well
But leaves an awful taste"
Grace is the solution God has provided to escape the penalty of sin, but while she (Grace) makes you well, your past sins leave a bitter aftertaste in your mouth.
"Oh I know this song won't do
Enough to prove my love to you
In my heart you'll always know
There is a place only love can go
There is a place only you can go"
This song isn't enough to prove the singer's love to God. It's not meant to. It's just expressing his love for God and the place in his heart that only God could go when he healed him with His grace.
"Take my notions and words to heart
This is the cry of a man
I can't bring you fortune or noble life
But I'll love you all I can"
The singer knows he doesn't have anything to offer God that God does not already own. A life of true nobility is out of his reach, but he promises to love God with everything he has.
