The lyrics posted here are a bit off, but this song is very pretty and simplistic. The song begins with the narrator looking out his window on a rainy afternoon thinking of someone he used to love. He's painting this picture of his life without her and asking rhetorical questions, as if writing her a letter. Apparently he had a lot of history with this woman -"so many lives I've lived and died but none so much as the one I lived with you"
In the song he expresses that she is far away from him and that he's having trouble letting her go. He pictures her unhappy and mentions that she hurts the people she loves including him. He recalls all the things she feared towards the end of the song and acknowledges that love can be painful. He connects with her struggles and fears at the very end and sadly concedes that he wishes things were different with "darling, I wish it wasn't true."
