I think the first verse is saying Hey I know your ex really really hurt you badly, but I'm not him/her, and you should give me a chance to love you. Maybe there's someone about you that reminds him/her of the ex. The second verse I thinks is you trying to figure out what the ex did to him/her. The third verse is you trying to get him/her to trust you, and saying you'll go beyond where the ex would not... The chorus is a conversation between the two of you. He/she is saying "Don't take my life away" because a bad break up can feel like a death, and he/she doesn't want to die again.
