I partly agree with Deceitful.
In English History, there was a huge fashion for astrology a few centuries ago, and the term "Born on the Cusp" was used often to describe someone who was moody or depressive. It was kind of a joke about how the stars were used to explain everything, like illness and stuff like that.
If you think about it in that context, this song would be perfect to describe someone (his girlfriend) who suffered from depression.
Especially the "It's bigger than us, it's bigger than love" part, as you'll know if you've ever been manic depressive. As much as you want to make a relationship work, it's always going to be too hard, because depressed people are completely involved in their depression before anything else.
Also the line "Or it's a run of bad luck" ... you do try to find excuses when your life isn't going the way you planned, because you're too low to help yourself.
And the fifth and sixth lines explain how when you're depressed, you can't ever remember being happy. It just feels like you're in a black hole, and the only thing you can feel is what you're currently going through.

Anyway ... just a theory.
