I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
You and me been over this ground
Over this ground before
I can't explain
I can't explain
I can't explain anymore
Oh it's hard to watch you go
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down like this
It's not the same
Over and over
Over and over again
Yeah, this is not my day
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Half my brain has gone away
Half my brain has gone
So far away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down again
Don't shake me up
Don't burn me out
I'm hurt and you won't let me in
Yeah, this is not my day
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Over this ground before
I can't explain
I can't explain
I can't explain anymore
Oh it's hard to watch you go
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down like this
It's not the same
Over and over
Over and over again
Yeah, this is not my day
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long
Half my brain has gone away
Half my brain has gone
So far away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down again
Don't shake me up
Don't burn me out
I'm hurt and you won't let me in
Yeah, this is not my day
I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
