Immediately I thought to myself this is a song about a guy loving a girl who is incapable of love.
Even if she wants to love, whether she is emotionally damaged or whatever she cant.
I think the lyrics referencing her being alone, the pain never ending are examples of someone emotionally damaged.
This guy wants to turn back because he knows in the end it will not work out if she cant let her guard down. She has a heart of steel because she wont let anyone in, hence "And a heart of steel, always on her own"
even if she does fall the pain will always be too much for her, preventing her from full loving this man, he knows this and realizes he is a fool for loving her knowing she cant.
