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.
There are not words to speak of
There are not words to say
There are not songs to sing on
News days like today
there's only time to carry
These darkest doubts away
There's only hope to cling to
On days like today
should hang our heads in shame
What we've done in god's name
Should hang our heads in shame
Only ourselves to blame
there are not dreams or feelings
That could seem to convey
There are not songs to sing on
News days like today
should hang our heads in shame
What we've done in god's name
Should hang our heads in shame
Only ourselves to blame
maybe I'm naive, I still believe in peace
There are not words to say
There are not songs to sing on
News days like today
there's only time to carry
These darkest doubts away
There's only hope to cling to
On days like today
should hang our heads in shame
What we've done in god's name
Should hang our heads in shame
Only ourselves to blame
there are not dreams or feelings
That could seem to convey
There are not songs to sing on
News days like today
should hang our heads in shame
What we've done in god's name
Should hang our heads in shame
Only ourselves to blame
maybe I'm naive, I still believe in peace
