This song is about God... like most of Flyleaf's songs. She's saying that through her own strength she's nothing, but through God she is perfect.
"All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself"
In our own power we cant clean ourselves and make ourselves pure. We only destroy ourselves even more. It's amazing how in our sin and filth and God in his infiniute purity can still stand the sight of us.
"I tried to kill you
You tried to save me"
The cross. Our sin murdered him, but his love saved us.
