I feel like you misinterpreted "I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home." To me, it felt like she was saying that she was sure she was going to make it back home and would see Ruby when she did. However, she never made it home.

Also, that lyric is "But baby, please don't do what I did. I don't want you to waste your life in vain." We tend to get the lyrics straight from Jeff Williams himself, so I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote the song knows what it says.

Speaking of Jeff, here's a video where he explains some of the meaning behind Red Like Roses and Red Like Roses Part 2. About 27:30 to 29:57.
