I left a dozen roses on your grave today

I'm in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away

I just came to talk for a while

I got some things I need to say

Now that it's over I just wanna hold her I'd give up all the world to see That little piece of heaven looking back at me
The singer reflects that while their relationship may be over, he still deeply loves Lucy and longs to have her back. He would do anything to feel her presence and see her smile once again.

I've gotta live with the choices I made And I can't live with myself today

Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday They said it'd bring some closure to say your name

Here we are Now you're in my arms I never wanted anything so bad Here we are For a brand new start Living the life that we could've had
In this alternate reality, the singer is holding Lucy, and although he wishes he could change events and have Lucy back, he is starting anew with her, living in the life they could've had before.

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand Me and Lucy never wanna end Just another moment in your eyes I'll see you in another life In heaven where we never say goodbye
The singer and Lucy are still together in the afterlife, walking and holding hands. This moment is significant, and the singer believes he will see Lucy again in heaven where parting is not an option.
