On the whole this is fairly straightforward - the first-person narrator has been betrayed (via spreading confidential information) by the someone they trusted as a friend. Taken at face value, the verses talk about the betrayal, while the chorus talk about the desire to forgive.
The twist comes mostly in the jarring, relentless, deliberate music - full of unresolved tension - and a single line of the chorus ("I want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes") accompanied by a chord change, that shows the anger bleeding through the otherwise "forgive and move on" sentiment the narrator is apparently struggling mightily to maintain. The closing lines about washing/wrapping/covering the betrayer in "forgiveness" sound suspiciously ominous in this context.
