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.
everything seems different now
nothing is the way it used to be
i feel as though i'm weaker
lost inside my own reality
i wish that i could tell you
the things that have been going through my mind
but you're heading for the future
and i can't go because i've been left behind
and i guess that it's all over now
i blew my chance and i feel left alone
so where am i to go from here
what am i supposed to do all by myself
you said you didn't care anymore
i can't get those words outta my head
you pretend that you don't know me
but deep down you remember what i said
so i ask myself one question
should i go on and leave my past behind
this pain inside is killing me
this pain inside is tearing me apart
and sometimes
i just wish i never met you
but then i realize
without you i could never see another day
as everyday goes by
i am thankful for all that you have given me
i'm sorry for mistreating you
i just needed time to get back on my feet
so you can take these feelings
you can take everything that belongs to me
the only thing i ask of you
let me keep these memories
nothing is the way it used to be
i feel as though i'm weaker
lost inside my own reality
i wish that i could tell you
the things that have been going through my mind
but you're heading for the future
and i can't go because i've been left behind
and i guess that it's all over now
i blew my chance and i feel left alone
so where am i to go from here
what am i supposed to do all by myself
you said you didn't care anymore
i can't get those words outta my head
you pretend that you don't know me
but deep down you remember what i said
so i ask myself one question
should i go on and leave my past behind
this pain inside is killing me
this pain inside is tearing me apart
and sometimes
i just wish i never met you
but then i realize
without you i could never see another day
as everyday goes by
i am thankful for all that you have given me
i'm sorry for mistreating you
i just needed time to get back on my feet
so you can take these feelings
you can take everything that belongs to me
the only thing i ask of you
let me keep these memories

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

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.
