Background.
The song is about the fact that he saw his ex-girlfriend having an affair with his best friend. He asks her if she still cares for him, to which she replies, in a spoken voice, that he had not expressed his love for her for "nearly" 4 years, and this has been very painful for her. He may now understand how she has been feeling, but it is too late; she tells him he had better find someone new.
