Themes about the nature of love and relationships are pretty common with this group. I wish I knew more about their story, cause watching them perform together there's something pretty beautiful between them, whatever it is.

I don't think snake is off the mark, their interpretation fits. I don't think the lyrics are specific enough for us to know exactly what she means but the overarching theme is pretty straightforward and can be applied to our own lives.

Love will not heal you. Only you can heal yourself. We sidestep our issues, feigning that everything is alright because we are "in love". And we want our lovers to magically be fixed because of our love for them. That's not to say friendships or romance can't help us get ourselves together, but I think this song is especially applicable to codependent relationships.

I see it as if she is explaining to someone hesitant of starting a relationship with her that she understands all of this - "Can't you see I'm good"? That said, it would also make sense to interpret that line as something along the lines of "I'm in love, therefore everything is good". Like most good songs there's many ways of finding meaning in it.
