Since no one else on here can be serious about this song, I'll do the honors -__-

The song really shouldnt be heard to interpret by yourself. It's about him being in love for the frist time and throughout the whole song he's trying to deny that she doesnt feel the same way. Bare with me as I go line by line.

"You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart"
-He's saying the he knows (or rather he would like to think) that the girl feels the same way he does about her and he's going to be there for her no matter what.

"Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying?"
-The girl is denying their relationship. She isnt being as serious as he is about this whole thing and he's hurt by it.

"Say there's another and look right in my eyes"
-She said there's another guy. He Doesn't want to believe it so he wants her to look him in the eyes and say it.
"My first love broke my heart for the first time"
-.....

The Whole Chorus you can figure out by yourself.

"For you I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together"
-He's finally realizing that she's gone but he can't believe it.
"And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losin' you"
-He wants to act like it doesnt matter but it's killing him on the inside.
"I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring"
-Right here I would say that he THINKS he would marry her because he's never felt this way about a girl before, so he's saying if she needed to hear that promise, then he would make it.

"And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me til' you wake me from this bad dream"
-He still doesn't want to believe it so he's hoping that it's all a dream os he can wake up and go back to how things were.

"I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around"
-self explanitory

(now ludacris's part is a whole different person, most likely recalling his own young relationship and its honestly all very frank and self explanitory)

"I'm gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
All I'm gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (gone, gone, gone...)
I'm gone"
-He's letting it go, he's getting out of her life. Moving on.
