It's about the mixed up emotions that follow the tale end of a relationship and the reasons you think you still need to be friends, even though you really shouldn't be.
Special thanks to Euan for laying down the lead guitar.

At the end of a long, trying relationship we had went to both ends of the spectrum. We didn't speak for months and then tried being friends. After a while it began to feel like she was trying to be friends for the wrong reasons. And we haven't talked since...
Lyrics
What is it you want me to say?
Do you want me to leave? Do you want me to go away?
I’m leaving with these words unsaid
These thoughts are killing my head
But the conversation’s dead
I think this time I’ll close my eyes
So I can’t see me cry
I’m not coming back this time
Yeah yeah yeah
This is what you said you wanted
You said you wanted
You said you wanted
So how does it feel
When you think that your healed
Your heart breaks down and knees to nothing but kneel
Yeah yeah yeah
I know you said you think you’ve changed
I see you’re still the same
With a different man just a different name
Promise you wont think of me
When you’re lying asleep
If he doesn’t fulfill your dreams
Because I am not your safety net
I’m not your biggest regret
I’m just the man that you never met
Yeah yeah yeah
This is what you said you wanted
You said you wanted
You said you wanted
So how does it feel
When you think that your healed
Your heart breaks down and knees to nothing but kneel
Yeah yeah yeah
I put your pictures away today
I opened my mouth but the words weren’t there…to say
Silence fills the echos of….your voice
Memories distant, fading fast, by choice
This is what you said you wanted
You said you wanted
You said you wanted
So how does it feel
When you think that your healed
Your heart breaks down and knees to nothing but kneel
I am not your safety net
I’m not your biggest regret
I’m just the man that you never met
I am not your safety net
I’m not your biggest regret
I’m just the man that you never met
