No one said anything about "worn themes"? Then who wrote this, Neo? I think this is the sort of thing that chooseanother was referring to.

The theme of suffering, even dying, for love dates back at least to "Tristan and Isolde", which pre- dates the ballad by several centuries, and is strewn throughout Elizabethan poetry.

As for treatment, well, all I can say is that the godawful hymn you posted wins the Triteness Prize hands down.
