I think the meaning is obvious for this song. It is about tragedy, and when it happens no one is prepared for it. Most people reaction to something unexpected and tragic is, "it was not suppose to happen this way".
Most people expect their lives to go a certain way, and it can feel as if we are cheated if it does not. This song seems to deal specifically with the young dieing, and most people feel when someone young dies it is not suppose happen. Children have an unending horizon ahead of them, and when someone dies young it is surprising and unfair.
The chorus of the song sounds exactly what a grieving parent(or loved one) would say when faced with the death of their child. This song is very moving, I can certainly picture someone reacting this way to the loss of their child.
This is a great song, very moving.
