This song feels like the whole downside of "ignorance is bliss". The author knows too much about himself (wisdom's only shown me that my loneliness is all my fault) and not enough about whom it is they love (I don't get you at all).
However, everyone seems to be assuring the author to just keep on the straight-and-narrow.
It seems that out of maybe youthful exuberence, lost the person from some inaction (I didn't know the things that you never did could stay with you your whole life) and regrets it.
Hindsight is 20/20
