The lyrics are about loving someone who isn’t having a good time or is in an absorbing rut.
The character in the song tells her that he will be there for her and that he will wait for her because he loves her.

Well, I think songs are all about the listener the meaning of any lyrics can be different from one listener to another as some people like to connect songs to a period or a situation or whatever they go through there life and other like to analyze the words etc.. you get the point. However, Bend and break i see it as someone who is going through a dark period of her life like after a break up or something that cause her heart to be hardened and on the other side, this guy who will try to stay with her while going through this to get her heart like back to life * metaphorically speaking * so they can start his life with her, MY ADVISE don’t be that guy or whatever.

[Regarding “the other side” and “white light” references] “In Bend and break that phrase is more about getting through a really dark state of mind and emerging into brighter, happier times. The old saying ‘the darkest hour is just before the dawn’ is very true and potent i think. People often say that with proper depression, things can seem unbearably awful as your thoughts run around each other in the dark of the night but when the sun rises you can get more perspective and see things in a more hopeful way. See Patrick Humphries' book on nick drake for his thoughts on how this phenomenon affected that great songwriter. Anyway for me I’ve always loved the mornings…the day is new and full of possibilities. The song reminds me of when I was young and in the mornings I’d phone Tom or Richard or other friends and we’d make plans to meet up in town or play football or whatever. I still feel the same way…for example I always write songs best early in the morning.” – Tim – Messageboard – Source
