The song is about betrayal and the pain that comes with realizing someone you trusted has deceived you. The song opens with the acknowledgement that the narrator prefers to live life on the safe side, while the person they are addressing does not. The narrator claims to see the person more clearly when they are not lying or pretending to be someone they are not. They can see their true complexion and understand their heart, despite the person always seeking the best for themselves. The chorus suggests that although the person's actions were wrong, they are not unforgivable. The narrator believes the person should have known better but emphasizes that there is nothing left for them to lose. Despite the betrayal, the narrator still sees through the person's disguise and their true intentions. The second verse acknowledges that things have been going on behind the scenes, and the person cannot escape the consequences of their actions. Their reflection reminds them of their guilt, and the narrator recognizes that their own heart is breaking as well. The bridge highlights the passage of time, indicating that it has been long since the betrayal occurred. The narrator realizes that they do not want to be in this situation any longer and acknowledges that something is not right. They assert their desire for the person to move on from them. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing that while the person's actions were wrong, they are not unforgivable. The use of the phrase "get over me" suggests that the narrator wants the person to let go of their relationship and move on from the hurt they caused. In summary, "Unforgivable" is a song about betrayal, acknowledging the pain of realizing someone you trusted has deceived you, but ultimately questioning whether their actions are forgivable. It depicts the internal struggle of the narrator as they grapple with their emotions and the need to move on.
