The first time I heard this song, it was shortly after my cousin committed suicide. I believe the lyrics fit perfectly for someone who is mourning the loss of a loved one, particularly through suicide.
"Couldn't save you from the start"
The person was never able to help their loved one, they were never able to save them from themselves.
"Love you so it hurts my soul"
The person has such a deep love for the deceased, and it hurts to love them so much, because of how the person is self-destructive.
"Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Time has passed you by"
The person seeks forgiveness for interfering again, and trying to save their life, even though the help was unwanted. The silence of the person, whether because of death, or because they are being ignored, makes the person hold their breath, fearing their loved one's reaction.
"Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own"
The person tried to protect their loved one from the world, to keep them safe. The deceased couldn't face the freedom on their own, because they were so self-destructive and suicidal
"Here I am left in silence"
Pretty explanatory, the person is left in silence because their loved one has committed suicide.
"You gave up the fight
You left me behind"
Their loved one gave up the fight of living, and left them behind, suffering from the loss.
"All that's done's forgiven"
Even though the person is hurting, they forgive their loved one for taking their own life.
"You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven"
The person knows that their loved one will always be a part of them, will always be 'theirs'. Although they are hurting, and angry, deep inside, they know that they forgive their loved one.
"I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face"
The person can't feel happiness anymore, even when things are going right, even when the bad times end. They are too burdened and saddened by the death of their loved one.
"I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away"
The person knew it was going to go wrong, because their loved one was looking for the 'great escape' - suicide- to end their troubles once and for all.
"I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?"
The person has been lost and nothing has been going right since their loved one died. They feel angry that they had to suffer through this, and that they should have gone first. They feel like fate tricked them into believing they would leave first.
"Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?"
None of this was supposed to happen, and it turned out wrong, because the person couldn't be saved. The narrator of the song was left alone in silence, because their loved one is gone.
@ForeverRose It is so sad. But I think some lines have a more concrete meaning. "You'll always be mine", could mean the person is litterally, theirs, like their child. "Why not me before you?", things happened in the wrong order. No parent should outlive their children. I assume there have been problems with ODs, maybe prison and so on, and their child have probably moved in and out and so on...
