It sounds to me as if its about a small town girl- probably the prettiest girl there, that wants to be a model/actress. She has these big dreams and goals (apples) but doesn't realize that she doesn't have what it takes (lye).
Either her friends A) Boost her ego so they can get in on the fame. B) They warn her that she may not make it. But she doesn't believe them. (Leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door.)
She then goes off to the city, where she sees that the competition is much nastier than was expected. (Backstabbing, catty girls going for the same role, ect.), or that there were people better or more talented than her.
The chorus is advice that is given to her, or her looking back on it in retrospect. Like her mom saying "You can do anything you put your mind to!" Or some other mom-ism :)
The 3rd verse make me think that she has finally realized that it's hard to make it big, and any compassion she got was just ridicule.
I'm not sure if this fits, I gave it my best shot :).
