I think it could potentially be about a relationship that is slowly losing hope. She knew deep down that it wasn't mean to be and that it's actually falling apart no matter what she tries to do to fix it.

"I know it came as no surprise, I'm affect more than I had guessed on what was said"

She knew where the relationship was, where it stood but whatever was said still affected her because of the denial and little hope she had left. I don't necessarily think that "what was said" was breaking up, but it could have been something hurtful enough or honest enough to make her realize the reality of the situation.

I actually always thought the song was "If this love's not meant to be" and rather than "If we make it i won't see it's broken" I thought it was "If the naked eye won't see, it's broken" and I still think that because I see some other people agree to it.

So I basically think the chorus is her realizing that she has to let go because she's forcing something that wasn't meant to go as far as it has gone

"if this love's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open, if the naked eye won't see. It's broken"

She's basically saying with everything happened it was meant to be, it was meant to be broken. "If the naked eye won't see" not that it can't see but it won't see...She refuses to see the relationship for what it is - broken.

Then the next part "I'm half past making sense of it-was I wrong? Should i think to give it all?" Now she's debating with herself, is it actually not meant to be? Am i wrong to be realizing that or am I wrong to have given what i did" then she says should i think to give it all? so she fights with herself to keep trying...

Basically to sum it up, I personally think this song is about a guy and a girl who are in a relationship together but they are happy being miserable together because it would hurt too much to be apart The girl, obviously giving more than her boyfriend slowly begins to realize the harsh truth about the relationship - that she actually already knew but denied. So the beginning of the end of the relationship starts to happen on this walk home lol
