Snow Patrol - Make This Go On Forever Lyrics Meaning

I think this song is about someone ( man or woman ) leaving their significant other for reasons that are fleeting now. They know they love each other but what the other person did was "the last straw".

The person who left now wants them back and their significant other loves them but needs time apart.

This song to me is about the pain of knowing you were wrong, realizing the mistake you have made, but knowing it is too late and you have potentially lost the most important person of your life.

This song crushes my soul every time I listen to it.
