Alright, I think this is a guy professing his love to a girl who he has a platonic friendship with. They are like brother and sister, and he is telling her that she only has one brother... (I'm not sure if he's saying he's that brother, or he's not her brother implying she may have a real brother).
He doesn't need any sisters (or any more sisters) he wants a girlfriend. But the problem is that the girl makes bad relationship choices, and continually goes out with guys that end up hurting her. (Let the right ones leave you like they left you before). Men have been leaving/disappoint the girl her whole life. That may extend to family members as well. The narrator thinks he is the guy to end this and has dreams of their relationship. (Having faith in a dream, Put a hole in the seams, Of the shadows that you sew)
He's going to be the guy to end her relationship woes and he's been there for a long time (The car pulled up a long time ago...).
But it doesn't seem certain this relationship will come to fruition (Making no love, just friends). She doesn't want to accept this relationship. Maybe she's not attracted to him in this way. Maybe she doesn't want to risk losing the one decent guy in her life.
This is kind of the anthem of the friend zoned.
