This song makes me think from the point of view of a young woman who's fallen in love with one of her good friends who happens not to be single. He might have feelings back, but he isn't in a position to be with her in any way. She's trying to get over him and she's miserable about it, he can tell she is upset and tries to help her, but he actually makes it harder for her. While she is trying to get over him she resorts to avoiding him, she feels alone and isolated from everyone else (especially her friends because he is a part of the collective group of friends), like a tiny bird in a big sky. Near the end she's so exasperated that she says to herself that she just wants it to be over, to do what she wants and be with him, and she'll take the blame for being a 'home-wrecker'. But she resolves in the end to stay quiet and deal with her feelings by herself, giving up avoiding him and becoming his friend again, being mature about the situation and just making peace with the fact nothing will ever happen between them.
