I see the song a bit differently, clara. To me, it is a song of regret. He's using a lot of "ifs" and it sounds like he regrets fighting with his love and driving her away. "If I never ... etc, you'd be home with the family keeping warm" I haven't quite deciphered the chorus yet, but at I get at least
If I never let you out of my door
Never ((would have)??
If I never kicked you out
Been so short
You'd be home with the family keeping warm.
The last verse makes it sound like he still has hope for working it out.
