I guess the song is about growing up, things changing. The singer is 'trying' to be happy, but isn't.

"Expecting softness can lead to foolishness"

My interpretation of this line is that the singer put their faith in a friend or lover, by trusting them. The singer was then hurt/betrayed. The song gives me the a feeling of nostalgia.
