I think the song is about someone who is in a committed relationship, but they don't want to just stay settled down with that person. As much as they love each other, she can't stay with him. She wants to meet new people; experience new things. She feels bad for leaving him, hence the phrase, "better sorry than safe," but she just doesn't feel right in her current position.
