Cover art for Diamonds and Why Men Buy Them lyrics by Pierce the Veil

Never stopped loving her* [not him]

"Don't run" - he wants her to stay "I saw the moon divorce the sky" - he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, thinking she was his soulmate "This remedy is worse than the disease, it's slowly killing me" - maybe the disease is his love for her and the remedy might be cutting/drinking/smoking ? "We like to run our blood thin and laugh at things we never did" - I assume they remained friends and it hurts him badly "Now you say we're better off that way" - possibly, when she broke up with him, she told him that they're better off as friends

My Interpretation

"This remedy, is worse than the disease, and its slowly killing me." - I always thought that the remedy was cutting/drinking/smoking but that the disease was the feeling he got for wanting something he couldn't have. Like the depressed, at-war-with-yourself feeling. Not sure if the remedy or the disease is killing him, but either could qualify.
