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.
You lost it, you sold it, you bought it, you found it
You broke it, you stole it, you dropped it, you drowned it
You fought it, you want it, you flew it, you sue it
You glue it, you drew it, you float it, you goat it
You shopped it, you flogged it, you taught it, you bought it
You own it, you know it, you blew it, you smoked it
You start it, you loved it, you ate it, you blew it
You green it, you shoot it, you spat it, you flat it
You bought it, you loved it, you missed it, you ???? it
You diced it, you ????? it, you armed it, you watch it
You smoke it, you ????? it, you boot it, you suit it
You wrecked it, you own it, you smoke it, you ???? it
You need it, you bleed it
I thought you ? thought you were gonna sing about it
?
? when you smile
You lost it, you sold it, you bought it, you found it
You broke it, you stole it, you dropped it, you drowned it
You fought it, you want it, you flew it, you sue it
You glue it, you drew it, you float it, you goat it
You shopped it, you flogged it, you taught it, you bought it
You own it, you know it, you blew it, you smoked it
You start it, you loved it, you ate it, you blew it
You green it, you shoot it, you spat it, you flat it
You bought it, you loved it, you missed it, you ? it
You diced it, you ? it, you armed it, you watch it
You smoke it, you ? it, you boot it, you suit it
You wrecked it, you own it, you smoke it, you ? it
You need it, you bleed it
Oh

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
