His relationship is dead, but the love is still alive in his heart.

Do you already broke with someone you love and feels that despair that kills you? I think he want to say that on:

"I'm lost in a love that's a mile wide Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde"

He's lost, desperated, but his love is like submersed in a bath of formaldehyde (a fluid that prevent dead bodies to decompose) and so it still exists.
