Perhaps this falling out is not between the two lovers. The singer could easily be comforting his soulmate as they lament the deplorable condition of the world right now. They are both disgusted by how things are right now, we've warmed our planet to the point where the seas are sinking, the skies in so many countries are clouded by bomb-smoke nearly every day. The government, put in to place as an aid to man, is now just selfish and murderous. So many people are religious and think that leads to morality, but the USA is waging a crusade against Islam. Is it worth it to "love" a god to the exclusion of loving your fellow man?

Like I said, it's a lament. They're so sad at, essentially, the dying breaths of humanity. But there is no need for his soulmate to cry, because regardless of what we do to this world, soulmates will be eternally alive in each other's hearts.
