I believe this song is sung from the point of view of a girl who was in a bad place in life, but a man came along and helped her get to a better place.
He was already in a relationship, but in the process of helping this girl, they became intimate. They both knew all along, however, the intimacy was not meant to last.
This song seems to take place at the moment he is telling her they can't continue to see each other as lovers. I envision them parked in a car "looking out the windows" and "watching the cars drive by" as they accept the fact they can no longer be intimate. She expresses her sincere appreciation for all he's done while at the same time lamenting that he cannot be hers.
