I agree with LiveUrLife. The lyrics here are so ridiculously incorrect though.
He's loving her like the one he used to know because they used to be together, probably dating but have drifted apart. He's having a hard time letting go of her. He thinks he could love her like the sister he never had because it's a deep unconditional love like one has with a sibling, but this is in addition to his romantic feelings for her as well. I think the song says "and you held and you tried" (not what the lyrics here say at all) showing that they both have previously tried to make the relationship work in the past but for whatever reason (probably her never having time for him now), can't make it work.

@planetearth That sounds like a special kind of love.
