I think its about a girl who's dying in a hospital (the life you have left) and during her teen years she was molested or abused or something(adolesence torn, lovers who have tainted you) and she never told anyone(bent your shoulders to hold the weight of the world) and maybe she got a disease from one of these guys and now she's dying. So she send letters to whoever the storyteller is, and the person telling the story is saying she has to run where you'll be safe... I think safe place might be heaven? Not sure. But this is my FAVORITE song off the new album.
