I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
We are all alone that's the way it seems to be
Love is in my sight and I can see it if you can
Where do we come from, I've been waiting for so long
We are all alone, say you will.
The lights have all gone home and are safely tucked away
There's nothing to come between us but the words we've got to say
[Chorus]
Where do we come from I've been waiting for so long
We are all alone.
And now we are both here are we really within reach
Of the things we need to do see'est a ou see'est la vie
[Chorus]
And now we can both spend all the time that's come our way
I'm not going to let you go for another single day
[Chorus]
Love is in my sight and I can see it if you can
Where do we come from, I've been waiting for so long
We are all alone, say you will.
The lights have all gone home and are safely tucked away
There's nothing to come between us but the words we've got to say
[Chorus]
Where do we come from I've been waiting for so long
We are all alone.
And now we are both here are we really within reach
Of the things we need to do see'est a ou see'est la vie
[Chorus]
And now we can both spend all the time that's come our way
I'm not going to let you go for another single day
[Chorus]

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
