I think this song is about censorship. Revealing yourself makes you sold your weakness. "My mouth was sewn" is loud and clear. "I split my heart in two" may mean a part speaking truths and another which is censored. "But you don't have it in you." The latter is not present in politicians. "Do you?" do they? I think they meant it is worse if they split their heart in two.
