Correction...

"Can't promise that things won't be broken, But I swear that I will never leave."

The whole song he is pleading to a lost love to come back to him. It seems his love is considering it, probably even in a moment of weakness gave in, but she probably is scared, and doesn't trust him because she has heard it all before.

He's trying to be realistic at this part, probably to prove he isn't being delusional, by saying he knows there will be a lot they will have to work on. No matter what it is, however, he will not give up.

Throughout the whole song there is some underlying anger/hurt towards his ex that is being conveyed, trying to make a point of "I meant everything I said. I told you I would love you forever. Where is your promise?"

I think a lot of us have been at this stage of a break up, or are going through it.

Also...

"And I miss you there,"

is really

"And I miss you dear."
