I think the main idea of this song is that love is both happiness and misery, though ultimately, it's a positive thing. The first stanza is a little hard to incorporate, but the way I see it, he addresses the individual whom he is in a rather turbulent relationship with at the moment. Though they fight and argue, he reassures her that their affections are never a bad thing. Love is supposed to be painful and distressing, but in the end, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do.

In the chorus, the speaker elaborates on the fact that love is an oxymoron of sorts, being both murderous and life saving. It will “tear away dreams” and break some hearts, but in the grand scheme of things, “only love” can bring you to the height of your life, to real hope.

The third stanza continues to say that every day is a new day and a new chance to find true love. Eventually you’ll find it. Love is both beautiful and tragic.

It’s a great song and it really states clearly how double-edged an emotion like love really is. Everything about it is beneficial, whether in pain or pleasure; the pain you will learn from and the pleasure you will enjoy.

Great post! :)
