The writer's friend (or whatever she is to him) has been violated sexually. He sees the pain that she is going through. The first two verses and the choruses are all about his anger towards the guy that did this to her. He HATES him and desires vengence. In the last two verses, there is a shift in focus to the girl. Once he gets past the anger, all he wants is to help the girl move on and overcome. It's as if he realizes that he can't change what has happened, but instead turns his efforts to dealing with the aftermath. It is a very accurate portrait of human emotion in a situation that few people are willing to talk about.
