Desperation

I agree with the other people who commented on this song. The girl is in love with the guy even though he's no good. I'm sort of going through this situation myself (aren't we all) and "I'm still desperate for you" sticks out....

"Well it's too damn bad you didn't have a chance to make me your best friend You were too caught up in giving too much up and not doing what you should have been" My take on this: The guy has a significant other, whether it be a girlfriend, a fiance or a wife - but the girl is still in love with him regardless. They are having an affair but in the end he choses to stay with his wife. That's why she tells him, it's too damn bad you didn'th ave a chance to make me your best friend - she felt like she could have given him more than who he had at home. And the part 'you were too caught up in giving too much up' .. He was scared about losing his security at home for this girl although he knows that he should have left his wife because he was so much happier with the other girl ....

That's just my take on it. Think what you will.
