haha, for me, Johnny's talking about this girl that he's either involved with romantically or just really good friends with.. and this girl was a very vivacious girl.. full of life and energy and she KNEW her dreams and was prepared to make her dreams reality... and everyone would stare as she walked by because she would shine. But then people her tore her down for whatever reasons: Jealousy, sheer evilness, whatever.. and that brought her down to the point where she wanted to hide from everyone.. but what Johnny's saying is that if she just ignores all of them and is her true self like she really was... then she'd be truly beautiful. I think that maybe Johnny is in love with this girl, but she won't let anyone in because her self esteem is so low.. so Johnny just wants to help her so badly.. that was my interpretation.
