I think this song is more about a commitment problem. She's not seeing a bunch of people all over the place, she is honestly giving people a chance to make her fall in love and trust. She's singing to one of those people right now.
I wouldn't doubt the scenario arose from a past relationship gone sour. We've all been there. We've loved someone with all our being and all we got in return was a slap in the face and the fear of ever loving another person ever again. And sometimes after that relationship, we find someone who honestly has best intentions for us. We are so terrified of committing ourselves completely that we would rather push them away.
The way she sings the song and a lot of the lyrics are very mournful. She sees this person she's with as someone good. She sees it. She knows completely that they would take care of her. But that little voice inside her head just keeps whispering, "Are you sure...?" So instead of giving them a chance, she's pushing them away. She's making sure she doesn't fall in love, even more so, she's telling them she isn't in love.
"If I don't believe in love Why do you care for me?"
"If I don't believe in love You're too close to me."
I think she also desperately wants to fall in love and I know that feeling. When you are in love, really, really in love, everything is amazing.(That's what she's describing in the song) Everything tastes new, everything feels like you're flying, it's practically a Disney movie in real life. But...Sometimes...Sometimes love doesn't come easy. It's hard finding love for another person. And that's what she wants. This person in front of her is safe, she knows that, but she doesn't believe she loves them, they are getting too close and she needs to run and get out of it before she waists anymore of their time and ends up hurting them like she was hurt. It's just better that way.
