I read the song, and it's probably off... but what I got was that the person grew up around a parent, probably mother, who had a lot of trouble with love. Possibly split parents, or most likley they just weren't in love. She grew up seeing this, but never getting to express anything, or ask anything about it.
"Cause I've seen love die way too many times, when it deserved to be alive. I've seen you cry, way too many times when you deserved to be alive."
When I read that line I don't think of a guy I feel bad for, or something, I think of my mom. Because that happened to my mom and I. Is happening. And she can't see it, but it has such an effect on me.. I know it does. I've just started to see it.
Also, "The Tide," by The Spill Canvas reminds me of my mom. She hasn't neglected me quite like that song, but she has a lot like this song. It's not really she 'negelected' me as bad as the stroy of the mother in "The Tide," or even this one, becuase we talk about it.. but I know it doesn't make it any better.
"And you do your best to show me love, but you don't know what love is,"
The parent tries to raise the kid normally, show them love, but the kid knows all along what life (for her, or the mother, or whoever) is reall like.
