I once knew a girl
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth
In the mourning I fled
Left a note and it read
Someday you will be loved
I cannot pretend that I felt any regret
Cause each broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved
[Chorus]
You'll be loved, you'll be loved
Like you never have known
And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
You may feel alone
When you're falling asleep
Every time tears roll down your cheek
But I know your heart belongs
To someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Someday you will be loved
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth
In the mourning I fled
Left a note and it read
Someday you will be loved
I cannot pretend that I felt any regret
Cause each broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved
[Chorus]
You'll be loved, you'll be loved
Like you never have known
And the memories of me will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
You may feel alone
When you're falling asleep
Every time tears roll down your cheek
But I know your heart belongs
To someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Someday you will be loved

Back in his youth he convinced a gorgeous girl that he really liked her, and carries on the charade until she finally develops feelings about him and trusts him enough to sleep with him.
Now finally getting what he wanted, he leaves her to wake up alone the morning after. And instead of going quietly, he chooses to tell her (not in person - but on a note) that it's not you, it's me. He knows he's breaking her heart because he alludes that her heart will have to be stitched together again "Just as the blood runs down the needle and thread."
But what really bothers me is that he's so patronizing that after using her for sex that he tells her not to worry because someone will love you someday instead of deceiving you just get some action. It's just adding insult to injury.
This song is gorgeous, but the lyrics are not about her or love. They're about how he's a douche bag. He's like a more cruel version of Barney from "How I Met Your Mother."
However, he cares enough to know that it would only hurt her more to go back to her, since his feelings towards her aren't as strong as they should be. He knows that one day she'll find a person that will love her as much as she loves him.
because of social or any other pressure he left the girl,
what he really wanted was the girl though he couldn't accept her due to some reason he can't tell her,
now he is not so young and in his memories is that girl always.
"But in the morning I fled, left a note and it read"
What I think he was saying in this line is that he is the one that is f**ked up he had to fled because he cant love.
when he's saying "someday you will be loved" he really means I wish I could be the one who would love you but I cant.
On tiny vessels she was nothing and always meant nothing:
"Yeah, she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me"
here she is more:
"I once knew a girl in the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer, all beauty and truth"
