The one that got away didn’t lead a great life. She had high hopes but fell short of reaching goals.
Imagine having a close friend that you and have great chemistry with and want more with, but their dreams took them in a different direction, then you’re stuck watching them spiral and fail. I imagine it’s naturally inevitable to want to swoop in and save them.
Then you have to watch them getting married while still lamenting what you always believed you could have had together.
The story in my head when I listen to this song reads just that way
