It's more likley to be about lovers more than friends. She made another mistake and she's asking for another chance.

I think this song is definently about wanting to be forgiven(Which is obvious because of the title). I think that the person in this song knows they did something very wrong, and is asking for forgivness with all their heart for it. I know for a fact that when you've done something wrong to somebody, it takes a lot of courage to apologize, and ask for forgivness. This song is a great song to relate to, for anyone that has taken their anger out on somebody, when they didn't mean it. I love this song, and I just love hearing Amy sing it.

It's about a person who let herself drift away from the person they loved and said some regretful things. They feel terrible, and want to be forgiven, they want them to know this time, they won't mess up, and they won't stray.

I think this song is about how she made another mistake and she wants to be forgiven. But she just makes more, because she says she knows he will never leave her. And when she's says

"yo're not shouting anymore
you're silently broken"

yelling to him is useless now, so he's just keeping the pain inside.

It could be that this song's about hurting someone, and wanting to be forgiven for it.

I think it's about someone who realized her mistakes too late(I don't know what I said), and the one she loves has given up on her. You only shout at people generally if there is some emotion there. I think and I know you'll never leave me is just repetition of the lines he's told her before. But he will, hence why she is begging for forgiveness.

Groveling for forgiveness to something that was regrettably said and done, overwhelming guilt.
