i agree with the 'self soul protection thing'. think this song is about someone who has been deeply hurt in the past and has become a complete love skeptic. she doesnt let anybody in because she's afraid of getting hurt.

like most, she's reached that point where she just doesnt 'believe' real love exists anymore.. if what felt so real in the past was an illusion... then how could anything now be the real thing??

after you been hurt it's far easier to push people away than to ever be vulnerable to 'that feeling' again, because the lows after it ends are far more bearable.
