It is about a girl who thought that she'd fallen for the person singing, when really she'd fallen for someone that didn't even exist. She thought that he was some perfect guy, and had an idea in her head about who he was, and how much he liked her, which wasn't true.
It's about how we hear what we want, and when the truth contradicts that, it can hit us hard.
All of this is stated in the album's booklet, so this is Charlie's explanation of the song, not my original.
