To me, this song is about a woman who has been hurt so many times in the past, that she is now cynical and believes it will always be the same. Even if she meets someone perfect for her, she is going to be waiting for the other shoe to drop and waiting for the other person to fail her, which is really sad. She even becomes her own worst enemy pushing away the good that does find her in life. I used to do this when I was younger because I had too many exes that were an endless parade of the last guy before him. When I met my husband I assumed he was like the rest though deep down I hoped and prayed for something different. There were struggles in the beginning and I was always worried when it was finally going to end. Even though I did things to sabotage it, he still never left me, and in time that changed me. There is hope.
