In fact, I think this song is following a conversation that they had - so he fell in love with her, then told her how he felt and she said that they couldn't be together. So the song is saying "We would have been perfect - but it's ok, because we can be friends"

I just think the first verse says this.

I need you to know This won't be broken And all that we said Will not be lost into the dawn

And you would be The last thing I saw coming I'm still surprised
