What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me that you
Found you another
And you just don't love me no more
What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
'Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now come on you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When darling I love you
And you know I'd never, never hurt you
What do you think
I would give at this moment
If you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again
And I'd fall down on my knees
I kiss the ground that you walk on baby
If I could just hold you
If I could just hold you
If I could just hold you
Again
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me that you
Found you another
And you just don't love me no more
What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
'Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now come on you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When darling I love you
And you know I'd never, never hurt you
What do you think
I would give at this moment
If you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again
And I'd fall down on my knees
I kiss the ground that you walk on baby
If I could just hold you
If I could just hold you
If I could just hold you
Again

Realtionships are sometimes hard to let go, as evident in these lyrics. However, a relationship never can work if only one is in love. And she, unfortunately, wasn't in love anymore. I really can't hold any negative feelings toward her for that. It is better to end it sooner than later for the sake of the other person's feelings.
She fell for someone else, but waited to pursue the other relationship, The narrator doesn't hate her. I don't think she has actually physically cheated on him (despite the line "you have found you another") because the narrator is willing to keep her in exchange for twenty years from his life. In the heat of the moment, he most certainly meant that line literally. In another light, a solid long-term relationship can add years (and quality) to a man's life.
Another reason I don't resent her is because the narrator says she has "tears in her eyes" and is telling him in-person. Unfortunately nowadays in 2012, break-ups are commonly done via texting or Facebook.
I believe the narrator handled this heartbreaking in a mature way too. She was expecting a negative reaction to the news, but got only kindness
