I had to read the lyrics a couple times but I think I understand now.
She is lonely and looking for love "love used to be a stranger to me. Love was so disappointing"
Then she finds somebody. The whole "I saw the devil waiting for me" line I can't add up however.
Yet as the song continues it is about being in love and being together with somebody. That is "the greatest gold"- love.
"See the people walking by with their mobile and computer eyes"- people are absorbed in these things when love is better.
But at the end she is alone again "Love I don't think I'll see you again. It isn't easy you say we're friends"
But then she reflects upon how the other person saved her "when you opened up your heart just enough to make me see again".
It's bittersweet, like love is. It's the greatest gold, but just like gold, it's hard to find.
