Can someone help me understand a line in this song

"Incomplete"

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I?m going is anybody?s guess

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I?m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I?m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It?s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I?m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I?m going to be is incomplete

I don?t mean to drag it on, but I can?t seem to let you go
I don?t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I?m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I?m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete

I heard this song on the radio this afternoon and the bolded line stuck out as very strange.

Can someone explain how this line fits with the rest of the song?
 
I think an 8th grader could easily figure that out. He's pretty much talking being near-suicidal without her. How is that line any different from the rest?

I don't see the suicidal part at all.

I think the line sounds like he thinks the girl is somehow "incmplete" without him. It just doesn't fit.
 
lol?

He just wants to be with her and help her through life, but he knows he needs to let go and let her experience stuff on her own.

Backstreet Boys? I'd ask you to surrender your man card immediately, if only I didn't feel you already did a long time ago.....

you listen to stations that still play the backstreet boys? wow....so many things wrong here.

 
Translation: "I wanna bone each and every one of my groupies."

That's a standing translation for basically any boy-band lyric.
 
Guy thinks girl will feel just as hopeless/pathetic/miserable/incomplete as him...but it's best they part ways. Or it could be about an unhappy childhood. It might even be about unicorns. I'm not quite sure.
