Lyric discussion by Good OL MC 

This song is really cool. It's about a guy trying to get a woman who has been hurt before to trust him. He is an "innocent man" because he never hurt her, but he's suffering the consequences. However he isn't afraid to help her pull through.

Agreed; in this song, he's willing to suffer for her sake, even though he did not wrong her. But he is trying to remind her that he's not any of the people who had hurt her. His refrain "an innocent man", is his attempt to warn her that she's about to do to him what was done to her, and to please stop before she becomes like them.
