Lyrics
I don't ever want to feel the way I felt when he brought you flowers
The speaker doesn't want to experience the emotional pain they felt when someone else brought flowers to the person they care about.
I don't ever want to sing a song about being happy without you

If all a sudden it was up to me
The speaker wishes they had control or influence over the situation.
I'd make you promise that you'd never leave but
The speaker wishes the person they care about would promise not to leave, but they understand that might not happen.
I don't ever want to feel the same again

'Cause I'm dying without you
Expresses how deeply the absence of the loved one is affecting the speaker; they feel like they are slowly losing themselves.
I gave her my life and she came right back for my soul

I gave her my life and she came right back for my soul
-And I'm dying inside every time that I'm not around you

And it's killing me softly and baby I thought that I found you

All alone in your bed, you were with him instead
-So I guess it's over now, Yeah I guess it's over now
Acceptance of the relationship's end despite the emotional difficulty involved.
I don't ever want to think about the way that you're looking at him

If all a sudden it was up to me
Expresses a desire to make a promise, even if it's not likely to be fulfilled.
I'd make a promise that I'd never keep but
Recognizing the difficulty in keeping promises in such emotional situations.
I don't ever want to feel a thing again
The speaker wants to avoid feeling anything further due to the pain they are experiencing.
'Cause I'm dying without you
Reflects the deep emotional distress caused by the absence of the loved one.
I gave her my life and she came right back for my soul

-All alone in your bed, you were with him instead
-So I guess it's over now, Yeah I guess it's over now
