I never said this wouldn't hurt

Everybody's got the same old story

And when I'm gone

Will you find the strength to move along?

You'll fall apart until there's nothing left

And when your gone, will you find it in yourself to carry on?

All that I know is love won't make you stay
Acknowledging that love may not be enough to make someone stay, recognizing the harsh reality.
But I'm begging for a way to get you
Begging for a solution or path to reunite with the person despite the difficulties.
Back to the start where we said we'd never part

Forever had a whole new meaning

I never said I'd let you go

Carry me home, I'm so far gone
Expressing a plea to be taken home, symbolizing a desire for comfort and belonging despite feeling distant.
