I think this song is rather self explanatory, it is two separate stories of lovers who have experienced hardships that broke up their relationships.
The most interesting lyric in the song is in the chorus, the line "I'm loving a shadow". That line seems to hold deeper meaning in comparison to the rest of the literal song. It is a metaphor for loving someone you can't be with. Simply put, a shadow is something that follows you but you can't hold or keep. "Loving a shadow" is loving the memory or the thought of someone.
