This is a song about having walls and being so terrified of being played as a fool, that you won't let yourself fall in love. You will act tough so you don't have to embarrass yourself even though you need love a lot more deeply than some people. You masquerade that need with 'strength' by making the other person look like a fool before you do.
"Say someone made a fool of me".. this line is an anxious thought that we trick ourselves into believing when we can't believe that someone really loves us. We retaliate with very blatant, mean responses to protect ourselves. The thought that we became a fool triggered all of it but our greatest desire is to forget all about our anxieties of love and fall in.
A beautiful song. Especially for those of us that "choke back" how much we need love in the exchange for 'appearing strong/dominant'.
