This song i feel is about a guy who was so in love with a girl, without never really being with her in an official relationship. This guy is also so in love with the girl, but the girl doesn't feel the same way, like when he said "you never see my bleeding heart". At that very moment, he realizes that the girl doesnt like him in that way, and the guy is devastated, but he wants a reminder of the girl who he fell in love with, even though the girl broke his heart. He goes on to say in the song, "dont let me darken your door", meaning that he doesnt want to make her feel guilty that she doesnt feel the same way, and saying " i never know if im doing you wrong", meaning that he doesn't know how to deal with the situation that he is in and how he is going to move on. he also says that "ive been traveling oh so long" meaning that he has been feeling the same way about this girl for a while now, and he doesnt know what to do.

A truly beautiful song by Mumford and Sons
