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.
There is a shadow rolling over my heart
Like a cloud across the moon
There is a devil on my shoulder
Spreading his light into my room
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
A wicked wind beats at my window
Telling me that I'm no good
There's no life in this bleak desert
There's no life, without you
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
Like a cloud across the moon
There is a devil on my shoulder
Spreading his light into my room
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
A wicked wind beats at my window
Telling me that I'm no good
There's no life in this bleak desert
There's no life, without you
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind that's torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
I can't leave your love alone
