Well, this is such a sad affair/ I've opened up my heart/ so many times/ But now it's closed.

Ah, but to whom can we attribute this little statement (presuming we take the line literally as part of the story narrative - Todd did this so seamlessly it's not at all tacky)?

If it pertains to Brian it's another example of Brian's main blind spot, which is his narcissistic assumption that the noblese oblige he practices with everyone in his orbit is interpreted as love. Because of course Brian has not "opened up my heart so many times" to anyone, and yet of course he believes he has. I think Curt really did get under his shell, but of course that's why Brian had to break it off.

If the song lyric pertains to Curt, well that's easy, since we can believe he has an open heart.
