Difficult to understand, is it a sad song or romantic?

 Sometimes, when I hear the music as a piece of background music or listen from a little far away, from where I can just hear the melody. At that moment, I couldn't understand the lyrics. But based on the tune I heard, I assume it's a sad or romantic song. If I like it, I search for the actual song with lyrics. Sometimes, it surprises me that such a romantic melody song, which I liked very much, is actually sad.


Let me give you an example, I heard this music in the TV serial "Friends". When Rachel and Ross first get together in the museum. Is it a love song? Or telling at the end it will break your heart. Why did they put this song in a romantic moment?





Lyrics
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (with you)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
