Most people think this song talks about everything that you do is worthless in the end, but its not, well atleast to me its not. Ill break it down,.
The first verse in this song tells of how life is to short to be wasted on useless things (drugs, meaningless s**, violence) because before you know it, your time will be up and what accomplishments can you say youve done then?
The second verse is about how you may be able to leave behind the sins in your past for a while, but in the end they all come back around and you truely pay for them,.
The chorus is what ties everything together, the meaning to it is that no matter what you achieve here on this earth, the single most important thing you had to of done is make the right choice in who you love, who you followed, thts were the line in the beginning ("It starts with love") comes from,.
So I hope I helped anybody looking for a meaning to this song.
