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"
When you're far from me there's a melody
That always brings me closer to you
Our own symphony, just for you and me
And I hope they play it real soon
Everytime I wish that we were dancing slow
That's when I hear our song on the radio, I know
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me want to be with you wherever you are tonight
And whoever's listening just hold your lover tight
?Cause this is one of those love songs
One of those love songs
As the days turned into years we had our share of tears
But they never seem to last long
Cause the sadness disappears
Everytime I hear our favorite love song
Now the candles burn as I lay here in my bed
As the melody keeps playin' over and over in my head
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me want to be with you wherever you are tonight
And whoever's listening just hold you lover tight
?Cause this is one of those love songs
That you never want to end
And you hope the DJ plays again
And again
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me want to be with you wherever you are tonight
And whoever's listening just hold your lover tight
?Cause this is one of those love songs
One of those love songs
That always brings me closer to you
Our own symphony, just for you and me
And I hope they play it real soon
Everytime I wish that we were dancing slow
That's when I hear our song on the radio, I know
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me want to be with you wherever you are tonight
And whoever's listening just hold your lover tight
?Cause this is one of those love songs
One of those love songs
As the days turned into years we had our share of tears
But they never seem to last long
Cause the sadness disappears
Everytime I hear our favorite love song
Now the candles burn as I lay here in my bed
As the melody keeps playin' over and over in my head
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me want to be with you wherever you are tonight
And whoever's listening just hold you lover tight
?Cause this is one of those love songs
That you never want to end
And you hope the DJ plays again
And again
This is one of those love songs
That you hear in the middle of the night
Makes me want to be with you wherever you are tonight
And whoever's listening just hold your lover tight
?Cause this is one of those love songs
One of those love songs

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
