No Reason To Cry Lyrics

Not sure if this is about a lost love...or the death of a love. The melody and the sadness in his voice makes me feel like it is about someone dying.

The part where it says "Could be when you get sad your memory slips" confuses me though. Anyone have any ideas about this song??

And ironically, this song makes me cry every time.
