I think the first verse is about a guy's experience with the women that he's met. every time another relationship fails he goes into a trance where he ignores the world around him to move on. and when he looks at the girls around him he can only imagine that putting time into a relationship with them could only yield the same result. But i think the lyrics leave it pretty open so that both men and women can relate to it like "They've come to my door, With one dozen roses...etc" means that people put on a pretty face and once you crack that mask you always find an ugly person under it that you end up hating but you still have a hard time getting over it.
