I have always loved this song, but unfortunately recently I was in a situation just like this. It was heartbreaking, and this song has been on repeat since.
I interpret the song as a guy who is in a serious relationship with someone, yet he has another woman. This woman is the one singing the song. He eventually breaks up with his girlfriend, and chooses to finally be with the other woman. After awhile, he realizes he wants what he had, and leaves her. The other woman is heartbroken and thinks that if she had only been better, more like his last girlfriend, she could have still had him.
