I agree with insomniac328 -- it is about unrequited love, moreso that he's saying he would love this woman but for whatever reason (maybe too much going on in her life "sense of sadness" or a bad relationship) she doesn't see how good he could be. A kind of "nice guys finish last" love song.

Quite applicable to real life -- think of all the times you've watched friends chose the bad guy or girl over the loyal, dependable relationship.
