Yes.

This song to me is about waiting your whole life to find that perfect person to spend your life with. You see your friends grow up, get married and have children...but you're left behind.

And now she feels as if time is slipping away for her to have that chance.

"No subtle men...came to my town...begging for my hand."

My Opinion

Because of the phrases: "Begging for my hand" and "Saying I'm gonna change"

I think that she is accepting guilt for being alone.

Sadly, many many women, most of them actually, despise the nice subtle man to only date the j*rks, until one day they realize that it is too late for them to have a catch with those bad boys, then they feel lonely and desperate... and it is only then that they wish to have dated some subtle man, once the train is gone.
