I will break it down by stanza with what I think it means.
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
he is saying that nothing has been real to him and hes settled throughout his life for whatever came along
until she came into his life and everything became real to him and nothing like he's ever experienced before
he was trying to figure out why she was with him and why she believed in him and how much her love can bring to him
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
showing me another way and all that my love can bring
this is pretty self explanatory he thought he wouldnt be capable of loving another person
and spent his time alone until it became habit but the loneliness only came into perspective when he found out what he was missing
she showed him another way to think about things and himself and believe in what he has to offer in a relationship
your faith is strong
but I can only fall short for so long
down the road, later on
you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
she believed that he could eventually love with his whole heart and that he would get to that point so she believed in him and what he had to offer
but he always felt like he was falling short for her and felt that she deserved better so he was tired of feeling like he was disappointing her
but he could only love with half of his heart because he was afraid of what giving his whole heart would do to him if he truly loved and lost so he gave her up
and she will hate that he gave up, but he believes hes doing the best thing for her
but he cant truly give her up because he cant let her go
half of my heart is a shot gun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
and half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything
this is just saying that half of his heart is not worthy of her and basically is just crappy, like a shot gun wedding with a paper ring, totally inferior and not fit for someone he loves, so there is a part of him that thinks he isn't good enough for her
and then he looks inside himself and wonders if he's ever truly loved anything and what it all means
its a truly beautiful song that has a strong meaning to me
