I can’t tell if this is a break-up song or a stay together song…it’s also possible that it’s directed towards the narrator individually.

I just need you to try, I don’t need you to know
Cause I’ve earned what I’ve been growing
I’m all about the day
When we cut it all off, where we throw it all away
Forgiveness does not excuse
It just prevents all of the others from destroying you
Never turn around or look back
