I think this is a song about that moment when you just finish a relationship, and maybe the other person alrerady have a "new one" ("I don't even know her but I hope that she comforts you tonight"). You have all those memories fresh and hanging around and hurt you about the person ("But I somehow slowly love you"); the good aspects of the person an the bad ones ("Well, I somehow slowly know you And wanna keep you away"). Yeah, it's about the fresh memories of a recent breakup.
