what is the meaning of she will be loved
She Will Be Loved At the end of the video, having still gained no romantic attention from her husband and seeing the young couple together, the mother was frustrated and overcome with emotion. She walks away crying. Levine follows her to console her and they embrace, nearly kissing. That's where the video reveals that that was when their affair started. The story and song is about how he tried leaving the mother before but he couldn't do it as in the lyrics I tried so hard to say goodbye, when the girl almost caught them the first time. Finally, since he couldn't leave the mother, he ends up hurting the girl when she actually catches them together in the basement room embracing and kissing.
