It's funny bc i went through a situation very similar to what the song describes, i had two friends one male and one female, they met each other through me and started going out even though they knew both of them were toxic in relationships and it would take a toll on our friendship as we would hang out around each other most of the time. Basically losing both friendships bc they would make me choose between them, which is why i had to step out in order to let them sort their issues out without a third wheel
