I think the song is about a man who got his heart broken and regrets his feeling for her. So here is my interpretation, enjoy!
Love Is Tragic
Love Is Bold
You Will Always
Do What You Are Told
(He thinks that love has been depressing for him and that this girl never thought for herself)
Love Is Hard
Love Is Strong
You Will Never Say That You Were Wrong
(He feels that the girl treated him unfairly and denied her wrongdoing)
I Don't Know When I Got Bitter
But Love Is Surely Better When It's Gone
(Basically, he is saying that this girl broke his heart in half and he wishes that love would never exist)
'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
(He realizes that she wanted more and nothing was ever good enough for her)
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
(This girl faked her feelings, by leading him on and pretending that she loved him)
Love is color
Love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud
(He feels that love isn't perfect and that it's vivid enough for him to see)
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand that holds you down
(He feels that love shouldn't be full of lies, which is what the girl was telling him the whole time)
I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone
(Once again, he is saying that this girl broke his heart in half and he wishes that love would never exist)
'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
(Same as above for the chorus)
I got to pick me up when I am down
I got to get my feet back on the ground
I got to pick me up when I am down
(He now knows that he must get over her and move on with his love life)
'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
(Same as above for the chorus)
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
The harder you would shove
(The lies kept piling up and he realizes that she's no longer "the one")
You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
For a love that isn't there
(He feels that nothing will ever be good enough for her and no longer loves her)
