Not sure what the artists intended, but to me it speaks of either depression or guilt. That the narrator once was heavily depressed or felt a great sense of guilt. This was their pain, but they've now seen the light (getting better) and perhaps now looking back on it are surprised at the pain and hurt that it caused them.
However the song seems to shift focus after the instrumental. Could this perhaps be a response from the person the narrator talks to in the first part of the song?? That is this more sombre melody and lyrics seem to suggest to me that this person is in a similar state that the first narrator previously was (i.e. they are depressed or feeling a great sense of guilt).
