I took the lyrics a different way and I'll interrupt my take on the lyrics bit by bit. The reason I thought of it this way is mostly because it parallels a personal situation, not line by line but in general (Just a little disclaimer should anyone I know see this and read too much into it lol)
I have been searching for your touch
Unlike any touch I've ever known
And I never thought about you much
Till I'm broken down and all alone
No I don't understand the meaning of love
I do not mind if I die trying, oh
Took you for granted
When you lifted me up
From line three down sounds like a friend, a confidant, that has seen you through all the rough stuff, that at times was taken for granted when you were caught up in something/someone, the first two lines sounded like lets just say the line of friendship may be getting a little blurry
I'm asking for your help
I am going through hell
Afraid nothing can save me
But the sound of your voice
You cut out all the noise
Sound like he's going through something and he's asking her to help him get through it even though he may have hurt her when she was an after thought to him before
And now that I can see mistakes so clearly, now
I'd kill if I could take you back
But how? But how?
Here's where I could see why it may be about an ex now that I've read that here, but to me it sounds like he's realized putting her on the back burner and doing whatever he was doing was a mistake, he wants bring her back into his life, and possibly realized she means more to him than just a friend.
I can feel it in my guts
What's going on with him now
Don't patronize me with lies
I'm a man, be a woman now
He see things aren't the same now she's moved on a bit, there's more to it, and he's trying to figure out .. (Don't patronize me with lies... I'm a man, so be a woman now..) he's saying just be honest don't play games,
Why must we be so ugly
And please do not speak ill of me
Why does the one you love
Become the one who makes you want to cry
My take, basically things don't turn out as simple and easy as he hoped, she hasn't been sitting around waiting for him and isn't just going to drop everything now that he's come back around
No I don't understand the meaning of love
I do not mind if I die trying..
^ That one is simple... Don't give up on love.. keep trying
