To me (on the surface) it sounds like a girl is pissed off (or disappointed) b/c a guy can't love her (or lavish her?) like she wants him to (at the beginning of the song anyway). They can't afford all the "dreams" she has and she's tired of being one of the "have-nots". So he says she needs to find a man with money and power so he can get her what she wants. He knows he is not that guy. He's worried she doesn't love him for who he is, but rather only for how he acts towards her and/or treats her (adoringly) so when/if he ever doesn't do that one day she'd leave him anyway. Guess she did leave him (or they're on a break) and she told him it was for other reasons than what he believes. If they don't talk and leave it as it is (both festering alone in silence) then they'll end up hating each other which would be sad b/c they obviously had something there to begin with before all the b.s.
