To me a girl has let a guy down. The singer could be the guy who is receiving this advise from his former girl. In the first line she is giving him advise, "Serve God, love me, and mend." The girl hurt him badly, but wants his forgiveness and wants his heart to heal. She tells him even though I hurt you, we will always be friends. She tells him her heart was not pure and she was never 100% committed to the relationship (one foot in sea and one on shore). Then she tells her she is sorry and tells him to Sigh No More because real love is great.
She goes on to explain that man can and should be happy and tells him not to be afraid to fall in love again. And she explains what true love can mean to him when he finds it. She deeply wants him to find love as she feels guilty because he deserves to find true love.
Love Mumford and Sons!!
