So that being said, the true meaning of this song is the singer beating the point home that even though she and the addressee are indeed parting ways, she “will always love” this individual. That is no matter where life takes her away from him, she will never forget this person. And even though the insinuation is that the termination of their relationship is not a pleasant affair, she is still wishing him “joy”, “happiness” and “love” in his life’s journey. That is whereas we do know the singer is parting ways with the addressee, the nature of their relationship is never specified. What we can deduce is that her decision to do so is based on her being under the impression that she is actually having a negative effect on him. Or let’s say least the implication is that her departure is actually due to unfavorable actions perpetrated by the addressee, but she feels that it is her presence which is causing him to behave so.

So what the lyrics actually represent is her emotional disposition in painfully making this decision.
