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.
I can't put my finger on it baby
All i know is i want you to be my lady
Everyday and all the time from here
All I'm askin is for you to be near me
And I can sit here all evenin' and watch you sleepin'
Hopin' that it's me that you're seein', in you dreams
In your dreams at night
In your dreams at night
And if you love me than why don't you just let it show
I think you do and everybody knows
Just like the Beatles say there's something in the way she moves
I'll do anything and everything to make you believe me
Give me a ocean to swim a mountain to climb so we can begin
I'll prove my love to you over and over again
To get you in my life
To get you in my life
I know you love me so why don't you just let is show
And don't hesitate cause now is the time to go
All i know is i want you to be my lady
Everyday and all the time from here
All I'm askin is for you to be near me
And I can sit here all evenin' and watch you sleepin'
Hopin' that it's me that you're seein', in you dreams
In your dreams at night
In your dreams at night
And if you love me than why don't you just let it show
I think you do and everybody knows
Just like the Beatles say there's something in the way she moves
I'll do anything and everything to make you believe me
Give me a ocean to swim a mountain to climb so we can begin
I'll prove my love to you over and over again
To get you in my life
To get you in my life
I know you love me so why don't you just let is show
And don't hesitate cause now is the time to go

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.

Anti-Hero

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
