This is a rare song because of it's point of view. He is asking forgiveness for being good as a way of showing that he isn't bad.

I think every kid has done this, where they'll cut their sister's hair or something and really screw it up by accident and when the mom gets mad, he'll say, "Sorry I cared about my sister's well-being, sorry I tried to make her look nice, I just messed up, sorry I'm human."

That sort of thing.
