I think this song means that no matter what you do in love, it's never really enough. Sometimes you're in love so much that you feel like you can never do enough to prove your love.

I think it means that just loving someone isn't enough and that you have to be completely devoted to that person and they have to be completely devoted to you.. and that you may find that your one true love has 'always been there'.
