I think this song is about someone doing something they felt needed to be done and regardless of the consequences they may suffer either from their significant other, friends or god they still felt they had to act on what was in their heart. Now they are dealing with the guilt, shame & perhaps backlash of repercussions of their actions. Although what they did may have been for the best, so much was lost in the wake of it that was almost not worth it in the end and they're hoping & pleading for some solace now.
