In my specific opinion:
This song reveals the tiniest bits of pain of a lost love's absence, in other words; their lost. Think of such a love that it will be a love that has overcome all kinds of fear and vulnerability even at the beginning; This is such a love, such a care and maybe hope... The person in love is at such a point that they has opened up everything, including their whole personality, to them. They call that person a "fool" because that person is not someone they can reciprocate for all their love, attention, or sentimentality; Cause we can understand that that they lost it all to their current lover all those important pieces. They won't cover that person's fears or pick up their tears. They bluntly say, "In my previous relationship, I left with nothing, just in case, against you. I literally got nothing for you. Even feelings..."
So we can sense that feeling of surrendering the whole self experienced with a past relationship has caused nothingness for the next relationship. Smith wanted to show their listeners that there is ''nothing to lose'' and ''never loving someone else'' clearly.
If they used all their vulnerability to the past relationship, then the difficulty of loving someone else becomes clear; cause they gave their all to a goddamn ''fool'' and they lost everything and they got nothing for their new love interest.
They won't hear those invulnerable words or they won't mend those past experiences' damages. Therefore, they were just a new kind of replacement for that previous love.
They can't pretedent that they care; they just save their time because they can't ''act like they're in love''.
They know they they are not in love completely to be fully invulnerable. They know that they they are the ''product of ttheir own past'' which could be caused by their past experiences... such a bitter realization as I can say...
They got nothing to lose; to love again to be honest...
