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.
Sometimes you say you don't want my love today
But oh baby, I know what you're aiming at
And I know, I see everything that's in store for me
Well, baby here's your big surprise, yeah
I've got x-ray eyes, ahh
And I can see right through your lies, ahh
One day you'll see, you'll come crawling back to me
I'm your one and only, that's a fact, yeah
I'm the one, the one and only
In the end, baby you'll be lonely
I've got no time for silly goodbyes, yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)
And I can see right through your lies (ahh), yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)
And I can see right through your lies (ahh), yeah, yeah
Ooh, and I know, I see, everything that's in store for me
Well, baby here's your big surprise, yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)
And I can see right through your lies (ahh), yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)
And I can see right through your lies (ahh), yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)
And I can see right through your lies (ahh), yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)
And I can see right through your lies (ahh)
Well, I've got
But oh baby, I know what you're aiming at

One day you'll see, you'll come crawling back to me
I'm your one and only, that's a fact, yeah
I'm the one, the one and only
In the end, baby you'll be lonely
I've got no time for silly goodbyes, yeah
I've got x-ray eyes (x-ray eyes)

@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
