I always thought this song was about someone, a jaded person, who has been hurt countless times by people who supposedly love them. they've been dropped and kicked and beaten down too many times to love again...and then they find the real deal, actual love, they can't accept it because they can no longer trust, thus hurting the person who really loves them. just my take. hence the blood running cold and "I've played your lover".
