"End of the Road" analysis

The speaker is lamenting the betrayal of his lover.  She cheated on him and they have split up as a consequence.  He is sad that the relationship has come to an end.  He can't believe that what they had is really over and he still loves this woman.  He believes that she still loves him and that she was just scared to be in love for the first time.  He is in pain right now, but still feels devoted to her.  The title of this song contains the metaphor.  The speaker says that they have “come to the end of the road.”  The road stands for their relationship and they are at the end of that road because they are no longer together.  Therefore, the metaphor carries the theme of the entire song.
