I’m here so don’t be scared." and is singing in the chorus "But I say Ruby, Ruby, Ruby" as in Mark our another person is singing a song for her. So it's not just about Ruby, it's about a guy how will never leave her. He will always be there for her.
Ruby is a fighter and Mark Foster has told that this is his favorite song. So I think he dedicates it to someone.
