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"
The stories told
The truth unfolds
Try to Remember
My darling souls
Look deep into the eyes of the soul that sits across the room
And start to recognize their face
They'll start to recognize yours too
Reunited friends and family
Your souls I've gathered here
A second chance is your gift my friends
Oh no you mustn't fear
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
The truth unfolds
Try to Remember
My darling souls
Look deep into the eyes of the soul that sits across the room
And start to recognize their face
They'll start to recognize yours too
Reunited friends and family
Your souls I've gathered here
A second chance is your gift my friends
Oh no you mustn't fear
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you
So now it's time for you to choose
Cause this is not the end
It's time now to transcend
And start another journey
Or go back to amend the life you lived before
You know it's always been up to you

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
My personal opinion? This song isn't about the person who killed themselves, as the music video would make you presume.
To me, this song sounds like it is talking about the people it would effect. Sure. It would be extremely perilous, and thankfully nothing like the such has happened to me, but you can't keep clamming up because of it. I'm probably going to sound extremely assholey, but they made the decision. Not you. So you need to let it go. I accept it would be extremely hard to do so, but there's nothing more you can do.
However, looking at the lyrics again, it is also talking about the person who killed themselves.
'Cause this is not the end It's time now to transcend And start another journey Or go back to amend the life you lived before You know it's always been up to you'
Hope this helps.
