I think a wonderful structural technique that we ought to draw attention to is the placing of "yes I love you" right next to "don't think you're the first"/"don't think you're the last".
IE: He loves them but he's going to love other people and he has loved other people
Overall I think it's a song about accepting reality, you're not as special or individual or unique as you'd like to think. All the problems and wonderful moments you've had have been had be someone else. In the same way in having the love of this person you're not alone, he's loved others and he's going to love others after you.
