this song makes me cry every single time. it's a conversation.
first verse: person A and person B have gone through a lot clearly. they've strived to remain together in the face of aversion and difficulty. they're being kept apart, maybe due to a career or some other factor that doesn't allow them to be together. they're questioning if whatever is keeping them apart is worth it anymore, even if it impassioned them at some point. person A 'would give up everything' if the other person decided that their love was more important.
chorus: "for your eyes only" implies that what they share is intimate, a secret. but it's okay because they have each other. even if no one else in the whole world understands or knows or sees, it's okay because they do.
verse 2: whatever they've gone through, it's damaged them emotionally and/or mentally. they've hidden their "scars", bit their tongue, and kept going. person B is saying how person A is the only thing that helps them relax and makes them feel better, like they don't have to hide their "scars" anymore and that they don't have to hide themselves anymore. feeling release, at ease after a great deal of pain. the beginning of the verse is very raw and emotionally intense.
bridge: the EMOTION during this part is so raw and clear to the point where you feel it too. the pain, the difficulties, the stress, the longing. the end gets quiet though, and you see the person concluding that despite all that they've been through, they feel that it was worth it just to be together and they hope the other person thinks it was worth it too and won't leave them after all they've been through to make their love work.
