Lyric discussion by MaryMaryQuiteContrary 

Someone who is used to using his charms on women, only he is unable to snow one particular woman. He fears that he will not be able to "keep her close" because she sees all of him; he's unable to hide his true self from her. He therefore believes that she will not want him once she sees all his flaws and weaknesses. It's a sad song...one of human fear. And just as fear exists in Hollywood horror movies, fear is often not based on reality.
