I loved this song from the first time I heard it, just because of how beautiful it is musically. But at the time, I was kind of desperately being blind about certain, erm, terrible terrible hopeless situations (or one in particular) so I thought surely I would never "relate" to this song.
Flash forward about a year and, yeah, this definitely speaks to me. I was in a 4 1/2 year relationship with a guy I just adored. But he, well, I don't know. More and more I think I never really knew him. The break up was very long, very messy, and so sooo painful. You know, I just wanted to forget the past four years. But then, it was complicated because we had a child, a beautiful lovely little girl. And she makes me so so happy, even though she looks just like him :) And I thought, this SUCKS. I can't say, "I wish I'd never met him" because if I'd never met him, she wouldn't be here. And realizing my gratitude for having her soooo far outweighed my hurt and pain over losing him really helped me. Then I remembered this song... "The signs said stop, but we went on whole-hearted. It ended bad, but I love what we started."
So... probably not exactly what Fiona had in mind, but it works for me :)
