To me this song is about someone who struggles with relationships due to depression and/or something else.
I won't shiver in the cold (you never really feel much when depressed)
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark (implies the shadows and darkness will always be there even when you fight it)
And I won't forget you when we part (he likes someone but accept the fact that maybe they can't be together)
I won't heal given time (when suffering from clinical depression, it never really goes away)
I won't try to change your mind (the person knows about the difficulties with being with someone with depression and knows not everyone can handle it)
I won't feel better in the cold light of day (nothing really helps against clinical depression, other people feel happy when the sun shines, someone with depression don't feel anything)
But I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay (the person wants the one he/she likes/loves to stay but don't really want him/her to suffer, which is kinda inevitable when engaging in a relationship with someone who is suffering from depression... but yeah, please stay anyway..)
