A correction for this part "And pad out all the bruises Do you know I had it"

It is supposed to be " and pat out all the bruises, too young to know I had it."

And now my interpretation: In my own personal opinion I think maybe she was talking about a young woman who gave of her innocence, or in other words her virginity, to a uy she never know or maybe was raped. It could mean both, but it talks about her struggle to keep going and trying to be happy with herself again. And she hates how much pain she has been put through, so now after years of hurt she's finally going to put it behind and try to, slowly, find someone who will love her and who she will be happy and can trust to never hurt her. But thats just my opinion on this song. All in all a great song.
