Oops. My bad. One lyric is wrong... Should be:

"Everything I do alone Has every BIT of you"

So, what does this song mean? Well, for me it means this: Sometimes you have to give up something good for the greater good, either as a whole or individually.. In this case, the conflict these two people have in their relationship is making it hard to stay together even though its hard to stay apart. I can relate. I met a fantastic girl once. Pure angel. Perfect for me in almost every way; beautiful, talented, well-adjusted, smart, etc. But had very different religious beliefs and it became 'our war'. I had to leave it behind. Life has gone on without her. Sigh.
