What the artist means
Justin Bieber is crooning tenderly about some things he's been through when falling in and out of love. He questions his lover who claimed that she couldn't keep on living without him but ended up leaving anyway. If it's not her then it's not anyone, he understands that it's going to be tough moving on. He's calling her out, remembering the good times, apologizing for the bad, and hoping that there will be a little respite for his forlorn spirit. He's looking back on his life, it turns out that his lady was the only good he has ever done, if it's not her then it's not anyone.
What the song means to me
The track keeps up to the themes that Justin has been exploring in his last few tracks, this is a nostalgic track that seems to be a call for help but has a certain tone about it. He's sounding super hurt, slightly regretful, and he's half-hoping for another chance. These are things that are all so rare for pop stars of his magnitude, so it's pretty cool seeing an A-lister like him dip in that bag. The track makes me remember some relationships of mine that didn't end so well, it reminds me of how sweet some of them were, and it's telling me to treat others better, lest I lose them forever. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
