I see this song in similar light...however, I think Billy portrays someone with low self esteem and therefore feels he's let his opportunity with a girl go. He may have treated her like a saint but the girl didn't appreciate it...so Billy ends up thinking he's not good enough. Who is he to think he's "good enough" for her? Now he's asking for a second chance. I'd love to ask Billy who the song was for, what it's exact intent was, and what result(s) occurred.
