I guess it's about the relationship between a woman and a younger man. She understands that he's too young and rebellious and he wants to explore the world and life and doesn't want to tie him down though she still loves him and he's too scared to leave her as he doesn't want to hurt her, so she makes up her mind herself, breaks it and lets him go. It's not about some casual fling (lines like "our hearts may break", "you were meant for me"), it's about love though doomed. Those lines are a bit confusing (So tired of life, No fairytale, So hold your fire
'Cause I need you) but I guess it applies to him not her, makes more sense this way, maybe she feels that he yearns for freedom and she wants him to save himself and be free ('So hold your fire Cause I need you').
