Overall, the song is about a bad boyfriend, I think. He scares her, possibly because he abuses her or possibly another reason, but she loves him all the same. And he says he's always going to be around and it sounds lovely, but she knows he's lying.
She feels like the only way anyone will pay attention to her is if something's wrong and it hurts. But, no matter what they do she's going to stay strong and be happy. She won't let them drag her down.
The girl she sees is herself. She's angry and hurt so she makes herself feel better by throwing herself into fruitless relationships. How she lost her purity is sketchy. It might be rape, but it could be that she was so desparate to be loved that she consented to sex to make sure that she wouldn't be left alone. She's been hurt over and over, but she won't let it get her down. She's figuring out that only she can put herself back together.
Constantly criticized, she has to stay strong and believe in herself. It's the only way she'll survive.
