This is definitely about divorce, referring to his parents, and his mom leaving his dad.
The lyrics are actually very straightforward.
In the first verse, he says: "And I don't think you think about the way he thinks.
And I know you live life for yourself,"
This is very powerful because he's saying to his mom, you don't see things through his eyes you only think about yourself. And then he says "And I know your life is such a hell", he knows she's unhappy with her life and every day she hates it but he still wants her to stay, because she's his mom, and him and his dad need her.
When he asks what is love, and says "Is it giving up? 'Cause that's not how you raised me" he's calling out his mom, because she's giving up on her marriage, even though she raised him to never give up (I'm assuming)
Like I said, These lyrics are really straight forward. He's talking about his parent's divorce, and he's wondering what exactly love is because he thought they were in love and he used to look up to that and dream of that, but now he sees it as one big lie, and he doesn't know what to think.
I know this was long but every lyric is so easy to analyze to put the pieces together. i love this song & Nevershoutnever!
