This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Smokin and leanin
Hatas plottin and schemin
Sippas be fiendin
Like a vagina for semen
Who knows the feelin
How it feels to lean
It's cough syrup
Or barre promethazine
Sticky green
And po up an 8
An orange Sunkist
Or a Welch's grape
Sip the sweet taste
Hit the blunts ya rolled up
Now grab a firm grip
Of that hundred dolla cup
Maan hold up
Share some with ya friends
Don't give it to Moe 'cause
It's too muddy
Big Red lookin bloody
Like a blood transfusion
And too much drank can cause an illusion
Knees get weak
And ya eyes is hazy
Wit ya mouth wide open
Now ya lookin crazy
Drank makes ya lazy
Jus ask the Barre Baby
Still stand tall with the Drank Baby
Po it up
[Chorus: H.A.W.K., Big Moe, Z-Ro]
[Verse 2: Big Moe]
Well I woke up
Early this mornin

A playa was a young'n

Peeked out of the window
I saw my partna nigga Trae
Smokin on the hay
That's the way it goes when ya ballin parlay
So I got up
And I hopped in the shower
Ya know a big dude like to smell good
So I took about an hour
Popped the cherry maan
With a playa bald fade
That's the way it go when a playa stay paid
On the scene with my partna Pete
Boy hit the sweets

[Chorus: H.A.W.K., Big Moe, Z-Ro]

Niggas be swervin out the lane
Fightin sleep

Stayin and smokin sweets

When I mix and I shake
Headed to the tray

Gotta get so mo drank candy

Sho we gone be leanin on a regular daily basis
Maan I wreck faces
Swallow sweet tastes
