I'm sure all of you know that this song is about Marilyn Monroe's life. It's about all of the difficult things she had to go through as an actress. The world made it hard for her to live, and she died because of it. "Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did" means that she just couldn't take it anymore and she died, but she will always be remembered.
