First off let me just say that I can't believe this song doesn't have more comments. It is a great song, and possibly one of my favorite songs.
Now on to its meaning. I believe that jrock is right, it is about a person who is trying to prevent from talking to an ex that he/she once loved and had their heart broken. It is a way of saying, "Please leave me be, because I want to know you for who you were and not what you have become and what has been done to me."
