I always thought this song was about a quiet, shy guy that has been in love with her for a very long time. He has been dropping hints forever (the notes that say "hold me tight") and she just disregards them. On one hand, she hopes it's blank, meaning she's hoping he's given up.
On the other hand:
Now i should run outside
I should be running after you
I should need to cry
But i dont i stay
Cos theres a little bit inside me that likes this pain
She likes that he wants her so bad, but she doesn't want to be with him.
The "pointless flares" are the signals he's given her, the little ways he's told her that he loves her.
He's losing the energy to fight because he's beginning to see it as a pointless effort.
My interpretation:
