Yes, the guy's been hurt before. He thinks that he really doesn't want to fall in love again,
but against all odds, he does.
He sings "If there's any love in me, don't let it grow/ and if there's any love in me, don't let it grow"
with entirely the wrong tone for it to be taken literally. He's saying these things, but he doesn't mean them. He's really ecstatic to be in love, he just won't admit it to himself, yet.
Nooo, you guys have it all wrong.
